Default Nice ride Chris

Wow, most people only dream of driving and owning a ZR1 but life is short so you definitely need to get the ride that you prefer.
Your car is awesome, and you have a very nice garage for it too.
Good work Chris, enjoy that beast.
Thank you for your service to our country.
VR,

Gordy

Yep, you can't beat a Corvette with the top down. I guess that one will do.

here, maybe I will actually get to drive it.
I think I am going to leave this one mostly stock,
but I did smoke the brake and marker lights.
I am also going to change the exhaust with
B and B Fusion mufflers and Kooks headers.
Maybe a little carbon fiber and chrome under
the hood, and I'll be ready to cruise for the
summer

Your a lucky man to be able to park your Vette in your living room.

Nice! It is easy to wake up that LS7 if you end up missing the 133 hp.

I know how you feel.... I just traded my AO ZO6 with tasteful mods for a 60th GS. But let the new mods role! Your cars seats I'm sure are nicer over ZR1. You will be just fine my friend
