Default GM benchmarking Ferrari

Road and Track magazine has spy shots of GM testing a Ferrari SF90 Stradale at it's Michigan testing grounds. Benchmarking a 986hp Ferrari?

Potential ZR1/Zora benchmark would be my guess

It's almost certainly the E-Ray.

Thought: C8 Z06 is backordered even longer than most Ferrari models.

So, GM has achieved a least one of its desires wrt Ferrari.

$250K. Can you imagine what the Z06 junkies will do? Second mortgage for the Z06, third mortgage for 900+ H.P. C8/9. Bank robberies across the country will skyrocket to get the next new drug.

SF90 is no slouch in the looks or performance department.

if you match the performance at 50% of the cost is that a rip off? Corvette has set some pretty lofty goals

Why? It would costs GM less than $10k hard costs to turn the Stingray into a PHEV with twin 100+ hp motors up front.

With a base price for the Z06 of $106,000, and adding all the goodies, plus dealers charging $50,000 over in many cases, resulting in a Z06 costing in excess of $225,000, the e ray will compete with the Lamborghini and Ferrari prices..

Its truly great news all across the board when GM Corvette team samples other exotic cars and gains insight and ideas into making faster better and more exciting cars. All oem manufacturers sample other companies sports cars and absorb the experience. Ive driven an SF90 its Superfast but not that exciting. Most people i knew that got one resold it for $250 to $300K over MSRP.
