My guess is that car is a lower-mid 2 second 0-60 car and gotta do 9's in the qtr.
The E-Ray is AWD (but less power) so the cars are probably close 0-60 but all that power wins in the qtr.
I wonder if they have posted numbers?

The E-Ray is the AWD hybrid. The electric motor drives the front wheels and the flat torque curve gets the car moving quick.
The gas engine drives the rear wheels and once rpm hits the torque curve it's all go.
The electric pull is immediate; ICE/trans can have a log. I am sure Chevrolet has balanced the 2 power sources for seamless speed.
You are correct: fun for driver and showing off but the vast majority of cars are grocery getters and commuter vehicles.
That 207mph run was with the ZTK track package that creates 1200 lbs of downforce. It still has more left on the top end, especially without the track package. Torque output is limited in the first two gears to help with traction. There are no street legal DOT tires, than can hook up consistently on vehicles at 500 to 600 whp. The torque management has been around since the C6. The most impressive part to me is how effortlessly it pulls through triple digit speeds.
The Demon is very impressive for what it is but it is a street legal drag car, and needs prefect conditions with all the correct vehicle settings to do it consistently. 0-60 is meaningless in these types of cars. 1/4 mile times and 60-130 acceleration are more useful performance mesaurements. The ZR1 can apparently run the 1/4 at 150mph trap speed in the mid 9’s. I don’t think its from a great 60’ launch, its from accelerating like a missile once its moving. A pro drag racer with true drag tires and some practice with this car will surprise some people. Thats if the half shafts can hold up to that punishment. Just watching the video of the speed run looks like it has about a 5 sec 60-130 time.I love all these big Amercian v8's. But its still slower to 60 than the demon 170 with a basic pushrod, what's up with that?
You won’t be able to pull into any chevy dealer for service on these cars. Only the chevy dealers who will get an allotment of these cars will have a tech or two trained to work on them. This goes for the Z06 and the eRay as well. Even some dealers who sell a decent amout of corvettes will not be able to get these cars. Someone who has the money to buy these cars, service is not an issue.
There is supposed to be one more model, The Zora. ZR1 with the eRay front electric motors. Should come in around 1225hp.

Yeah they're pretty different cars, and to be fair to the vette it's using less displacement to get more power, but on the other hand the hemi is a really old design now. They go about things differently but both are super impressive.
These might very well be the strongest ICE only v8's we ever see from America unless there is some corporate shakeup at Stelantis.
Agree. This is quite a bit of technology coming from GM. How many dealers are going to be able to service them. I bet an oil change or air filter would not be easy or cheap.

not even sure how many sell Corvette - our Chevy dealer does not
Can probably use about 65hp of that on the roads around here.
Not from an OEM with a warranty.
Not from an American auto company for sure - but the builder would usually stand behind them for some amount of time.
