C8s - E-Ray Gets Stomped by a ZR1

[teamzr1]

And people thought the E-Ray would beat a ZR1 off the line

But........is that only in the hands of an experienced driver...........whereas, the less talented, everyday drivers may find better consistency when driving the eRay......perhaps?

Eray is 400bhp down on a ZR1. It’s not like some of the 1000hp evs and isn’t what a lot of people were expecting from the electric corvette.

But the ERay really isn't an 'Electric' Vette.........its effectively a Hybrid much like some from a few years ado simply centering on additional performance over a stock C8 and not improved range, better mileage or tax benefits..........and you are seriously paying a premium price for that additional performance.
I wonder (given the depths of our UK pockets) how many of us would choose the ERay over the Z06........and will we ever see a UK spec' ZR1?

Hmmmm - low 9's for a stock ZR1 (sans rear spoiler) - pretty imressive!

This brings up the questions what drag strips require as normally running below like a 11.5 ET you have to add a
Rollbar, at least 4 point safety belts, wear all the safety gear and a mounted fire safety system

Now in the 9s ET, if track requires a roll cage ?
