Don't know of any taking actual deposits. But many dealers have lists of folks who are interested in the ZR1, and most of those started compiling those lists years ago.

I had the same thought as your bolded text above, along with the added benefit of long-term durability.

I'm crossing my fingers hoping for boost by gear on this rig, also.

The ZR1 is going to sound better than my Z06. I prefer the lower pitch.

Very much looking forward to the ZR1, and its better sound and performance.

I agree, would be good to know some details about the new part number piece.

There apparently is a new part number valve body for the DCT as well. Would be good to get some details on that also.

I don't know if it reduces my risk any, but I always lock the car by pushing the button on the door before I close the door and walk away. I don't use the fob to lock the car.

Lambo utilizes cylinder deactivation on the Aventador V12, (and perhaps other models, idk). And I think Cadillac/GM does it on their DOHC V6s and inline 4s. Would be interesting to see how they do it.

Evan, thank you.

I never signed up for this, but checked the site with your provided link, and sure enough, my car had this turned on.

I turned it off. Thanks.
