Again, it's all excess...but one person's excess is another person's "not quite enough". We each decide. Hec, that's why so many buy 500+ hp BMWs, and then tune them for more power, and these cars often never see a track. 1,064 hp is not going to be enough for some folks...so the horsepower wars will continue. And no, none if it will make sense.

But as an engineering achievement, at this price point, if it's at all reliable, to GM for the ZR1...
But why not have a track car at 1300 pounds with 350 HP with the same power to weight ratio as a 3,900 pound ZR1.
