I disagree. The power in a C7 ZO6 was very usable...but you have to allow the tyres to develop enough heat. In each of these modern cars, you have to allow significant heat to get into the tyres before any spirited or performance driving; once achieved, that car is perfect on the road. I've owned zr1s as well as gt500s. Now, the GT500 with those Goodyear so-called "supercar" tyres are very sketchy when cold, but when the tyres are warm, even on the GT500, that car is very tractable. The new ZR1's have a tyre temperature monitor. Blue symbol , Cold tyres, don't even try to drive it hard at all. Green symbol, tyres still are not warm enough for performance driving. And then with the red symbol, you know that the car can put down serious power. It's the computer that controls everything anyway.... But electronic controls cannot overcome the laws of physics; an ultra powerful car with 600 plus horsepower on cold tyres is not going to have adequate traction in any situation, even a prepped track. A Doctor friend of ours had a previous generation Supra - mk 4 - with the high wing, he wanted to drive that car hard in the rain (as such like an F1 driver) and like an idiot turned the traction control system off. That car didn't even have stability control, only abs and traction control, and he turned it off in the rain and drove the car hard. He inevitably wrecked the car. He totaled it. We have to have common sense and respect for powerful vehicles. Now, I do wish that Chevrolet had offered an AWD option for the ZR1, analogous to the E-Ray. That would have made for a much safer car under ALL conditions. But, word is,7 the Zora will be AWD. Hopefully at some point, Chevrolet will offer AWD on the ZR1. But for such a powerful car, this ZR1 puts it's power down quite well, ON WARM TYRES.
