You aren’t entertaining the possibility that part of being a super winner is being a shithead.

What's the point in living if you don't have magnesium wheels?

That entire wheel budget won’t pay for a single engine.

I think I’d just have a ZO6, save all the extra money and use it for tires and track days. Enjoy the better sound and response.

Will it? It’s heavier than a ZO6 with the same size/type of tires, so why would it be 30 seconds faster? Straight line speed helps some, but not THAT much.

If it’s really making the hp/tq numbers they claim, gearing shouldn’t matter that much.

Purpose of the 296 isn’t straight line speed either.

296 ran 9.6 on an unprepped track. 150 mph trap speed. Both MotorTrend and Car and Driver duplicated these times on unprepped surfaces.

Eh, 296 is aluminum like the ZO6/ZR-1.

Being that the ZO6 weighs that, that must be dry weight for the ZR-1.

No they aren’t:

296 does 150 mph in the 1/4. 750 is over 145.

Interesting that it’s no quicker than a 296 despite the claimed 240 HP advantage. Baaaaaarely quicker than a 750S despite claiming over 300 HP more.

If you really care about the environment, tax the consumer for vehicle size, weight, and consumption. Giving the manufacturer regulations that have nothing to do with consumer buying habits is silly and drives vehicle cost through the roof.

Agreed, 55 mph is dumb.

It’s really, really disappointing for those of use that are trying to develop powerful and efficient new engines.

I’m a powertrain development engineer, I test this stuff every day. If you take a batch of 2018 93 Octane and run a power or emissions test, it’ll be better than a batch of 2024 93 Octane. I suspect it’s even better if you could find even earlier fuel that hasn’t gone bad. They’ve gotten really cheap with the…

First of all, the CGT will always be the best car ever.

No. It’s actually worse now.

Exactly. As is typical of F1, right as the racing gets really really good they’ll completely change the rules.
