Who will Order a C7 ZR-1

[Hog]

The last Tesla I saw tear off was squealing the tires, not doing a burnout or anything, but were certainly letting it be known that their limits of adhesion were being tested.

Joe, You probably have your dealer on speed dial.

It will likely have very few miles, will have been superbly maintained, and oh, bought for a fraction of what it will sell for new.

I can wait, thank you.

Marty, I can agree with you more. I bought loth of my Callaway's for less money than I paid for my 98 PC. I can wait until they drop 60K just like the C6 ZR1 did.

Of course. And then I will put it away for 20 years and let it appreciate to a half million dollars and then sell it and retire ... just like the first owners of a thousand ZR-1s did ... oh, wait


I am very interested in seeing what GM does here, a la, put the LT5 in last C7 or the first C8.

Well, the title of this thread is "Who will Order a C7 ZR-1"....... and the forum is "ZR-1 General Postings." I would think a thread on Tesla would belong in an "Off Topic" forum.

That was my point, Jerry...I promise you my post was completely tongue in cheek.

OK I was still working on my first cup of coffee.

How much torque do you get out of a cuppa coffee?

[A26B]

At my age, not enuff. Especially if you're addicted to high performance. You know, "too much is barely enough."

John Phillips (Car & Driver) once gave the difference between horsepower and torque: Horsepower is when your foot gets caught in the stirrup and you're dragged for a mile. Torque is when you push down your own erection and your feet fly out from beneath you.
