MaintenanceCostsIf you're buying your car to drive on some of the longer tracks, or if you're going drag racing, with street driving on the side, then maybe a very high-power engine option like this is worthwhile for you.
If you're buying your car to drive on the street, and don't drive on a track, it's hard to see the benefit. The envelope of a Z06 goes way beyond anything you need on the street and the additional capability of a ZR1 is not useful at all.
MaintenanceCostsThanks to a combination of aging product and its CEO's erratic and often embarrassing conduct, Tesla's brand has gone from "can do no wrong" to "the embarrassing thing you have to put up with to have an affordable EV." People are accordingly less forgiving.
Jalop1991Great question. Why not make a track-only car. I'm sure some would say, they want the ability to drive the car to the track.
But this brings up another thought: I keep hearing, right here even, about how "EVs are so much better, they're silent on the road, and they have INSTANT POWER and huge acceleration". Do we need EVs to behave that way any more than we need 1000 bhp road cars? Do we need to put go pedal behavior like that under the feet of new drivers? Of your mother? Of 35 year old Tiffany as she stares at her iPhone in traffic?
