Default ZR1(s) spotted in MI!

Four of them. All velocity yellow. On US23 near Brighton.

The first I identified as a Z06 based on its splitter. The second car appeared to be a ZR1 as I looked at the rear spoiler. I didn't get a good look at the third car, but I thought I spotted a ZR1 spoiler on it as well. The fourth car was a Z something as well.

Looking good, guys. Anyone from the forums?

I have been driving mine from Brighton to Royal Oak. My car is Cyber Gray and my Michigan State plate says C6 ZR1. I have 1500 miles on it so far. All I can say is - MAN IS THIS AN AWESOME CAR!!

Jorday:

Good chance those were GM test vehicles since that location is very close to GM's Milford Proving Ground.

Are you sure they were ZR1 models? Reason I ask is that GM recently announced the new GT1 limited edition cars with the ZR1 style spoiler, which are only available in yellow or black.

Another possibility is 2010 test cars.

Anyway, good find no matter what version(s) you saw.

I suppose that's a possibility, too. I only got a quick look at them so who knows.
