Well, competition is always good. Maybe we'll see a crazier version of the GT-R and a better version of the NSX and LF-A, whenever they come out.

It's all relative really. In something like a ZR1 which has the power for big speeds, you can get speed up with a long first, then have shorter 2-> gears, rather than having a shorter first but longer gearing overall (and less acceleration) up to v-max. But in an ITR where there's not the power (or need) for a big top whack, you just make 'em all short.
Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...

A woman goes to the doctor to figure out why she is having breathing problems...The doctor tells her she is overweight. She says she wants a second opinion...the doctor says, "your ugly".
Am I the only person not excited by yet another unnecessary increase in lateral grip and effortless engine power?

It all depends if you subscribe to the "more power = better car" theory.
There are certain examples where the "horsepower war" between the German manufacturers has actually resulted in less enjoyable driver's cars. With regards to Corvettes, I specifically recall EVO magazine in the Uk testing a Lingenfelter tuned Z06 and finding that they thought the extra power actually made the car less enjoyable, and a worse all round car than the standard Z06.
That's not to say that the ZR1 isn't going to be a good car of course, it may very well turn out to be great.
There's a lot more to cars than headline power figures though.

It's a road car, why does ridiculously high power and grip = better?Originally Posted by rooster
As performance rises the driver increasingly becomes the weakest link. There are already many cars with limits that far exceed the driver's ability and opportunity to exploit them so what do we gain by further widening the gap?
