Talk:Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C6)

message: Link to About.com review was disallowed by bot. I realize the quality of About.com articles can vary, but this is an original article that was written by an established journalist who obviously drove the car, so it's just as legit as the Motor Trend article, and it presents a different viewpoint. I won't re-undo the bot's change until OK'd here, but I think the idea of disallowing About.com articles automatically should be reconsidered. 75.4.228.57 (talk) 18:30, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

message: The ZR1 is a better performing and more powerful Corvette that is sold as a complete car, and is not an option package for the base Corvette.  An option package for the base Corvette (akin to a sport package) would be the Z51 package.  The new ZR1 is its own car.

message: Is there a reason why the 'Blue Devil' codename is not included in the article? Not verifiable, despite all the forums and blogs that have used the codename ad nauseum for ages? (Well, it seems like ages...)

message: In the article it mentions that the new TVS design is 4 lobe as opposed to three. The more important detail (as far as power and effciency goes) is that the 4 lobe is 160 degree twist while even the lastest 5th gen is still 60 degree twist. Can we add this?MustangAficionado (talk) 01:53, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

message: What is this statement in the awards section referring to?  Why is it there?  It should be removed if no further explanation can be provided.  Obviously there are production cars that have faster lap times.
::If I recall it hit a record in category of some sort there. It would need massive citation though since the only place that has that information even at all collected is the Wikipedia article, which of course doesn't count as a source :)  ...Actually, it "might" have top production car time, since that was one of their goals. A year or so ago everyone's joke was to wait for the NISMO R35 GT-R. There is a flaw in this of course, which is that some makers don't bring their cars, or don't go 10/10ths in the things out of safety. Can't say I blame them all too much, since I wouldn't want a $2M Bugatti I owned flying around like that, and it's not like you can just grab another out of the trailer.
::Anyway, I know there's a Wikipedia article for this already and it might be useful in a "See Also" collection. ♪ daTheisen(talk) 18:29, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

message: An IP editor has been adding the sentence that the ZR1 is "the fastest and most powerful production car in the world."  However, the sources do not appear to be reliable.  Just going to other Wikipedia articles shows vehicles such as the Bugatti Veyron and Koenigsegg appear to have a higher top speed and more horsepower.  This claim should be left off the article until a reference from a reliable source is found. Alanraywiki (talk) 01:07, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Possibly (I also thought about the word 'production'), but the statement did not specify those of a certain production volume.  Bugattis are not just one-off cars, they are low/limited production.  Even if that were the case, a claim like that needs a reference from a reliable source.  None was ever provided.

message: I've removed a youtube video twice now, as youtube isn't a reliable source, and that video really adds nothing except some hits to someone's video. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 16:37, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

message: The C6 version of the ZR1 has been incorrectly noted as starting in 2007. Whoever sited it used a web site that is incorrect. I tend to believe The National Corvette Museum is a far more accurate keeper of corvette facts. You may look at this web page and understand that indeed, it was 2009 when the first C6 ZR1 was produced.  http://www.corvettemuseum.org/specs/2009zr1/  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:7:E00:255:E8AD:3C11:7717:D1E4 (talk) 11:45, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
