Hmm, it's a GM engine. I wonder if I could drop one in my Buick wagon.

So maybe 1/3 will never get driven except around town for parades, another 1/3 will get wrecked by drivers that can't handle the car, and the other third driven by old men on weekends to go get coffee and show it off? That's a lot of horses to handle.

I'm sure every gold chain wearing convicted felon car salesman will be putting at least a $50K ADM on these.

It's a rich mans toy. The entire point of the thing is to be over the top, so of course it's going to be stupid expensive with huge dealer markup. If any random clown worth a million bucks could afford it, it wouldn't be desirable.

Would you mind elaborating on that last part?

What's not clear? A million bux worth assets isn't all that much. Some fellow with a paid off home worth a million, and a very limited income could afford the car, and would be an idiot if he bought it. I'm sure there are a few wanabe playboy's that will take on $4k a month payments for the car and insurance, but there aren't many.

that's absolutely insane. i really hope none end up crashed from being a dumbass. it's gonna take a really skilled driver to handle that.

they need a better exhaust on that though. aftermarket will take care of that i'm sure.

You made it sound like if it's pricey it's desirable. That with an ADM it makes it more desirable.

With the ZR1 at 1064 HP, the Zora should make 1200+ HP and drive all 4 wheels. It's bound to have the electric motors from the E-Ray
