Makes sense from a product separation standpoint.
C7 Stingray is about on par with the C6 Z06.
C7 Z06 is about on par with the C6 ZR1, including the addition of a supercharger.
Where does the next ZR1 go from here? How does it gain separation from the Z06? How does it build on the success of the previous ZR1?
By defying convention and not building on the previous ZR1 at all. All-new chassis, mid-engine layout, and real separation from the Z06 in a way that will leave absolutely no ambiguity about where this car sits in the Corvette hierarchy.
Plus it gives Chevy a competitor to the Ford GT.
