    Walking the Shiba up our cul-de-sac yesterday afternoon, saw this beast in a neighbor's driveway. My wife caught up with me (she invariably spots weeds on our lawn, falls behind), and I cautioned her: "if they're home, sitting outside (as they often are), say NOTHING about the vehicle, ignore it. Let's see who blinks first".

    The husband works for nearby GM dealership, typically drives a white GMC pickup, but occasionally get a loaner/demo car for a ride, maybe while his truck is in for service.

    The beast:

    Man the C7 ZR1 was a monster. I watched a Hagerty video on both the C7 and the C8 ZR1's, and it was unbelievable how much the mid engine affected the ability to put power down. On a unprepped drag race, the C8 was consistently three car lengths ahead of the C7 since it just LAUNCHED. By the time the C7 was done spinning its wheels it had no chance. Obviously though they are track cars, and in that respect they were much closer in performance, with the exception of the C8 being actually kinda difficult to fishtail, and the C7 quite easy.
