corvette ZR1...A real car, a drivers car. I love it

Performance isn't just 600hp.

You're right but this is...

7:26.4

So you're saying if it isnt a Lambo, Ferrari, Aston, or some other high end branded car, its total shit? Judging a car simply by its...seats...is kind of elitist.

Now I haven't owned one of those cars myself either, and you probably havent as well, but why on earth would you hate on a ZR1 so much just because of one simple shortcoming? While the price point of the ZR1 is a bit high, that aside, its an amazing machine. I think thats all they are saying.

I compared it to a $30,000 Volkswagen. Hardly a Lambo, Ferrari, or Aston. Any car with shitty seats is not a drivers car, period. A performance car should be built around the driver. These aren't 1960's automobiles. It's a high-performance car they are selling for over $110,000 so why does it have seats in it that probably cost them $300 to manufacturer? If they aren't capable of building something appealing and comfortable to a human then why not contract another company to do it? If Volkswagen can do it with a $30k car then why can they not with a $110k car?

I bet Recaro would outfit them with custom Sportster CS's for under $2k.




Instead of these things that look like they came out of a conversion van, and feel the same:



This debate isn't about looks, it's about creating a performance car for a driver.

I don't find the seats that bad and I sit in them every day, to each is their own though.

The did this so Billy Jo Bob Jr. would be able to fit his 400lb ass in the car of his dreams. Most cars sold in the U.S. are built around obese people.

I'm probably one of the only people in this thread that has slept in a Corvette overnight...yet I hated them the first 5 minutes.

*edit*
Waitttttt a minute. Are the ZR1 seats the same as the C5 and C6 Corvette?!!!!

I've slept in my old Corvette twice. It's not meant for that in any shape or form. I actually laid in the trunk and had my feet going up to the dash in between the seats.

LOL reps! It was drizzling rain and I ended up rolling myself up in a tarp outside and sleeping in it like a burrito. I was at a race track last minute in the middle of the week without a tent waiting for the team to get there. Sucked lol!

Haha that was probably better than staying in the Corvette. I was drunker than shit and got locked out of a friends house and my phone was dead. Fail.

Not a big fan of the ZR1's
