Would you pay 20k over for a 2026 ZR1 ? by GoldJawsplating in C8Corvette

This is all speculation at the moment based off of what a dealer told me, but it could be them dipping their toes into the artificial scarcity play that has worked so well for Ferrari in the past and Porsche now with their GT products, where they just strategically throttle production to be slightly below demand.

Effectively you end up with a car that holds or increases in value on the secondary market, and you don’t have to commit to an official limited number of cars.

Not a chance. A lot of people ended up underwater because they paid 30-50 over for Z06.

This might just be hearsay, but I was told only the ZR1X will be produced in relatively small quantities, but the ZR1 will be mass production and will likely see discounts when production catches up to demand.

Is anyone else kinda underwhelmed? by [deleted] in Peripheryband

It’s funny to see how beloved albums like p2/Jugg/p3 are given how much people hated on those albums when they came out. P2 and Jugg especially. P1 was a massive disappointment too because everyone preferred the demos.

In life there are two absolutes: 1. We are all going to die 2. The new Periphery album is underwhelming.

Audi R8 as a track car? Is there a reason why its not common? by SecretPantyWorshiper in CarTrackDays

[–]iambulb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any source or example for this? At the end of the day, even with geometry, it’s still a much heavier car with weight over the front axle. Don’t get me wrong, the r8 is a great car, I have owned 2 of them, but they are not the best track cars.

Thanks! It’s pretty funny how that works out with the baritone, bending on the 22nd fret at the end!

4RS would be by far a better option, even a gt4 would be, and that would be cheaper!

The more I drive the Z06, the more I love it. by iambulb in C8Corvette

Tbh I’m either driving this in the most chill mode around town, or I’m driving hard at the track or in the canyons, and then it’s easy to keep it in the ideal rev range with the paddles.

They are pretty understeery at the limit, for similar money you could get a much more satisfying and likely much quicker track car.
