Yes they are. The Z06 has NOT been replaced by the ZR-1.

Well that's a positive for us, however I don't see the benefit of it for Chevrolet. I mean, why buy a ZR1 when you can buy a Z06 for $40K less and put less then $15K into and have better then a ZR1. Whatever! To each his own.

Long live the Z06!!!!

My original header on this post about the Z06 being "put out to pasture" was only about the outstanding performance of the ZR1 over the Z06 in that run, not that it was not going to be offered becasue of the new ZL1.
Like was said, who would want to spend that much extra money for that kind of performance when you can build your Z06 to outrun it? (except those with more money than GOD and no desire to work on their own cars!)
Jeez, you Z06 guys are sure sensitive: Glenn

I think the ZO6 and ZR1 are just two completely different markets. I don't expect to see many, if any, ZR1's at the track. Where as you'll always see the ZO6's out there. I think most ZR1's will get stowed away in some garage and forgotten about. Very sad to me. Even the majority of C4 ZR1's you see still have VERY low mileage on them. It's unfortunately going to be a collector's car, not a driver's car.
