Hello everyone and welcome back to Brink of Speed!
Today I'm very excited to bring you an in-depth look at all the differences between the C6 ZR1 & C7 Z06 Corvette's! I've traveled to Corvette World in Dallas to drive one of their C6 ZR1's and will be taking Rob along with me as usual.
Starting with the looks on the outside of this car, I love them very much, as they have a clean sleek look and design to them! GM used carbon fiber everywhere on this exterior which was a very nice touch, from the front splitter to the side skirts & the roof, even the whole hood is carbon fiber! One of my favorite parts about this ZR1 is the fact that it has a clear window in the hood so that you can see the menacing LS9 Supercharged V8 doing its thing!
Moving on, the initial startup is nice but, then the car quiets down predominately until you mash the gas and the dual chambers open up allowing you to finally hear the roar of the big V8 engine! This I found to be very disappointing, at least with my C7 Z06, I can make it stay on load mode as much or as little as I want to.
The acceleration in this ZR1 was also a little disappointing also. The initial throttle response wasn't there like I'm used to in my C7 Z06. It did, however, feel like once it started to go, there was no holding it back! I definitely believe that this C6 Corvette ZR1 could easily hit 205mph!
The ride in this car was definitely lacking comfort big time, which was pretty surprising, taking into account that this car has a MAG ride suspension, I figured it would ride much more smoothly. It did feel like it would handle well on a track but, again I was disappointed with the steering input from the wheel, it gave me zero feel and feedback. I did, however, love the brakes in this ZR1, as they are huge carbon ceramics, they have huge stopping power!
The interior was also leaving a lot to be desired but, this was expected because, in my opinion, GM didn't get the interior correct until the C7. Going back to the steering wheel, I just feel like it is so cheap looking and it reminds me of a Chevy Cavalier steering wheel. The seats are also very unimpressive, they don't feel comfortable at all and have zero support. The technology isn't there either compared to the C7 and once you get used to that, it makes it very hard to drive something without it.
I do love the fact that it only comes with a 6-speed manual transmission though and this makes this ZR1 much more fun to drive than my 8-speed auto. No doubt about it, this 2010 Corvette ZR1 was a blast to drive! Would I want one over my Z06, absolutely not but, would I own one alongside my C7, sure if I had the money, why wouldn't I.
My conclusion is, if you are truly trying to decide between buying a C6 ZR1 & C7 Z06, go drive them both, the decision will be easy, C7 will win that battle every time hands down!
