I don't think the interior is crap at all...in any Vette. But...no car can do what the ZR1 can do for it's price...NONE. So...with that in mind, I think of a good/great interior as opposed to an great/overdone one for status' sake (there is such a thing as useless spending on a car's design)...I think of the interior as even farther away from 'shit'. But....to each his own.

It doesn't stop it from outrunning the car, and it came back down, didn't it?

nice eye sir on catching the 2008 model, but the point is make the zr1 different under the hood and inside, because you spend all the time there

look at that futuristic corvette concept, now thats a interior. Now im sure if a given person had the money to pay for such an interior, lets say 40k more. Im sure they would even if it hindered performance because spend every sec in the interior of the car, why not make it special?

Personally I think at that point your pricing the car out of reach for corvette buyers. Seriously, I think if your getting that expensive with a vette, then I'm going with an Aston Martin. I mean, the ZR1 is amazing because of how fast it is for the price. If you pump up the price musch more, then it just becomes another high end rocket that any rich guy would buy. Then that would be a direct competition. I think GM is in a good place with this one. Keep undercutting the ferraris, lambos, and everything else out there, and keep selling a lot more vehicles. It's kinda in it's own class right now, which isn't a bad thing.

TBH talking about any of these cars in the context of a company wide profit making cars is crazy. GM is not trying to undercut lambo or ferrari, they could care less. All they care about is if the colbat outsells the focus or if the camaro beats the mustang. So why not charge 150k and finish of the ZR1. I would not care if the perfect car cost 150k, because thats what the ZR1 would be if it had a world class interior

I beg to differ...some folks can buy what they want and function over form is a big concern...some exotics offer the "light" versions..bare bone insides

Bah ,I like iNDpwr's way better, if you got the money to buy the ZR1, then you have the money Put your very own interior touch to the car.(not to mention the want to custimize it yourself) I personally would put my own custom interior in it.

Nah, they buy exotics just to say they own an exotic.

At first, I was arguing for GM, now I'm putting my side of the story into it I have alway wanted to customize my very own interior. If I got the money, I want something that is personal.

bare bone supercars are not for the typical super rich guy that wants a cool looking car. Super rich people need the leather on the inside, they are naturally opposed to carbon fiber racing seats and super ridged sports tuned suspensions.
