Default cts v wagon vs stock Zr1, OUCHHHH

My bro just picked up a 2011 Zr1 Saturday and I wanted to see just how bad, bad really was.

He is bone stock and I'm fbo with a cam and ****** stock heat exchanger (kills my power).
Anyway zero excuses here you go. We just ran about an hour ago enjoy lol.

I'm guessing someone did a targa top conversion deal? Never seen that before.

Sounds like he left it in 4th gear on the last run. Still walked away. That's wild.

Good deaths OP. Those wagons are heavy!

I walked outside in our shop to look at our ZR1 to just make sure I wasn't crazy about the targa top(FRC). So ODD to see that in a "Z" car. Cool but,...meh.

ZR1's are no joke.

My previous Z06 had the fixed roof and I had the conversion done (on my 09). I personally prefer the targa top so does my bro, and the original (previous) owner.

It's a personal preference. There is obviously a demand for it by more than a few people so it's not a failure. Looks 100% factory and works like it was equipped from gm with it from the beginning. Agan it's not for everyone but a must have for me

I could understand a full convertible, but the targa top is absurdly designed. It's so much louder than even a convertible due to the design not properly diffusing the air. It gets trapped and becomes very turbulent, no matter what you do with the windows or visors. It's a cool concept with a poor execution.

All of this applies only for 60+mph speeds, below that is fine.

I like the Targa top!

And congrats to both of you. (That Zr-1 is a Monster...) Also... The CTS-V Wagon is too cool for school! Love it! Can't wait to see how ya do once ya get the boost cooled down.

OH! Also... THANK YOU for running in the day time, it's so nice to see the cars run and not just the lights.

they make a deflector screws in to the factory location. i keep mine in back, it's just a flat piece of plastic with texture on one side. you don't even notice it when it's installed. cost maybe $60. installs with two round **** backed screws... problem solved.. diffuses the air. that's awesome to be able to remove the top on a ZR.
