No, you don't have to feather the clutch in the ZR1. That's why I keep saying it. The car controls power output via the ECU so that you don't have to modulate the clutch. If the tires are slipping, it cuts power rather than force you to feather the clutch in any form or fashion.
Go read about it, then come back and argue about feathering/slipping the clutch in a Vette. It doesn't require it when using the launch control. 0-60 in 3.5s by Jalopnik. It isn't GT-R quick to 60 mph but it's really moving from 2nd gear onward, that's for sure.

Jon your not getting it. IT STILL HAS A CLUTCH PEDAL.
Here is taken straight from your link:
It's definitely fast, but it's very dependent on the driver too. Dog the clutch release and the car will bog down and only deliver a 4 second 0-60MPH time. Shameful. But if you let if go just right, like we did, you'll see a crushing, blistering, surreal times of only 3.48 seconds (Ben's being somewhat modest here.

Well, they seem to be saying that "let it go just right" is the same as "dump the clutch with extreme prejudice." The issue appears to be some people are used to feathering a clutch upon launch, which with the ZR1 reportedly yields slower 0-60 times. Dumping the cluch with extreme prejudice should be something that's easy for the driver to do the same each time.

Exactly. All the driver has to do is dump the clutch instead of trying to figure out how much to feather it. It's when the driver tries to "interfere" that the system doesn't work how it should/could....

I ultimately chose the Vanquish. Owning an AM in my lifetime is a bucket list item for me.
