ZR1 spotted
Maybe no big deal to most people, but I saw my first new ZR1 on the highway today. Not sure where to post it, but since I was in my C5, I put it here

I got the opportunity to drive a customer's ZR1 about six weeks ago, and let me tell you.....this is the best Corvette I have ever had the privilege of driving!
This car lives up to all of it's hype! I would buy one in a heartbeat, and I'm not a huge fan of the C6. But this car is absolutely incredible!

If you ever get the opportunity offered to you - go for it!

There was one at our meeting last month,,says he'd like to join. He just happened to be eating dinner at the restaurant where we have our meetings. He is the one that I saw on the road a couple of weeks before,,,,It's his DAILY DRIVER!! I'd call him a real vet guy!!

I got to drive a friends in early August. His has a smaller pully on the SC and long tubes with a dyno tune. He's putting out 600+ hp to the rear wheels. He wanted to take his Lamborghini Gallardo and the ZR1 to a show and needed someone to drive one for him. Being the good friend that I am, I helped him out.
Amazing car. It gave me a mild case of C6 fever. Has me looking at C6 Z06s now as I know I can not afford a ZR1.

One in my club too. 
Too bad they are about 10 years out of my price range.

A gentleman in our club has one, and a couple of weeks ago, he allowed me to drive it. I agree with the sentiments posted above, it's incredible. It's hard to describe the feeling of going thru the gears, and the way this thing pulls when you get above 3,000 rpm. My C5 feels kinda meek to me now!
The smile you see below has not left me yet!

I've seen a couple on display here in downtown Charlotte (part of some Chevy show and Speedweek). I think they look about as good as a ZO6, but geez they have some wide tires!
