This ZR1 is intended to rock the Fararri market! It is aimed at the smaller group of folks who will buy it vs the existing Corvette market. Corvette has always stood for value but this car will expand the audience up the "food" chain to an audience that expects a lot better level of quality/refinement/power. Not a Fararri, but more in that league. GM wants & needs to steal market share from those who would buy one but ***** about the interior and steering, etc. GM is going to fix most of the rest of these things and they will gain high-end market share by doing so.
I also really think that the mule you have seen so far will be nothing close to what you see in production when it comes out, except the engine. It will look more radical and be a much better quality. If it isn't, GM will have really screwed up because there are just too many really powerful cars entering the market in the next 2 years that will compete for the base Corvette market. Think Camaro, Nissan GTR, Challenger, etc.:W
