Now, Chevy ups the ante AGAIN. The ZR1X has 1250 HP!!!!

I am considering getting a used low mile Z06 as soon as I can unload some of my current cars. I really don’t have anything to prove, and figure 670 hp will provide plenty of bang for the buck. At $105k to $120k (depending on options) they really look like an incredible bargain to me. I don’t need the highest HP model.

Now, just for the sake of discussion, do you guys think the used ZR1 market will be affected in the same way the Z06 market was affected? Not that it matters to me. At my age, I would be more than satisfied with a Z06.
The C8ZR1 market will react in a similar way to the ZO6 market, in other words prices will be going down. They will make as many as they can which will hurt prices. My 2 cents.
