Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC - new ZR1 at speed video

[Hans E. Hansen (FList]

As I understand - it'll be some 100 to perhaps 200lb more than the Z06.
It'll have more carbon fiber bits to keep weight down, but that will be
offset by more "luxury" items, insulation, etc.

It was insinuated that the suspension would not be as "sporting",
but it must be reasonably firm just to keep the darn thing on the
road at 200mph.  Or I would think.  Try to imagine the opposite
extreme - a late 60's Cadillac at 200mph.  Probably would not
work well........
