ZR1 -e with the Eray electric motor as some had suggested if there is no ZORA? I still like the use of ZORA.
Imagine the Eray was an Stingray-e? lol.
Would they annouce a GS instead of the ZORA? I would just delay it and make the biggest splash for the C8 platform in the near furure year?

I am not holding my breath, everything is always delayed with the C8 releases, what ever it will be a teaser of, will not be built until end of 2026 production year with on my few hundred units that will have major constraints.

Pardon my ignorance, but the GS was pretty much just a cosmetic option (wide body) wasn't it?
The E-ray takes that position in the line-up.

I can't speak on the GS models of the past, other than the few I have seen at shows looked real sharp.
What I can say is that the E-Ray is by far a different animal than the Stingray (which is a great car on it's own merits).
Think of the E-Ray as the 'civilized' twin of the Z06 - maybe that will help.
All the attributes (plus some), but without the anger.
That wasn't my point. I said the E-ray fills the GS position in the lineup. The popular consensus is that the C8 GS will have an upgraded motor. I have my doubts.
If GS were to happen, it will be mostly cosmetic with the Z06/Eray widebody and save the LT3 for the C9 I think. They may ask for an addtional 10-15k over the Stingray?
Hyper theoretical speaking.
GS has been a great sucess in past generations.

If I'm not mistaken the C7 GS had the wide body look of the Z06 and some of its suspension performance upgrades, but with the base Stingray motor.

I don't think GM will undermine the newly released ZR1 with a Zora so soon, so that leaves us with the grand sport
There's always the possibility of that SUV everyone has been waiting for.
The E-Ray isn't a cosmetic option, and costs way more than a GS could cost.
As for the cars at the 'ring, there seem to be three types. Z06s, ZR-1s, and a couple of cars that appear identical to ZR-1s except with the same vertical heat exchanger the E-Ray uses to cool the electric motor. Those cars also have the yellow sticker on the rear window that the 'ring requires on hybrid or electric cars. So they are almost certainly what we've been referring to as the Zora.
And based on a GM Instagram post, it seems likely they'll be called the ZR-1X, not the ZR-1e

Getting into the next MY though ……. And there are only going to be 302 ZR-1’s produced for the first year apparently so there will likely be a scarcity of the Zora as well if that’s what these RUMOURS are all about. Not that 99.9999999999% would have a snowballs chance of buying one ……just a thought.
