Default Amazing Car and the times...ZR1

So let me get this straight and right...

A ZR1 can do 180 in the standing mile (Onpoint in Texas)

A ZR1 can do the 1/4 mile in 10.80 seconds at near 130 mph (Racerns)

A ZR1 (new 2010's) can be bought with either a rebate or 0% for 72 months

A ZR1 comes with FREE Driver's School at either Bob Bondurant or Spring Mountain

A ZR1 NATIONWIDE can be bought under $110,000, even WAY under if you shop Corvette Forum Dealer Sponsors

A ZR1 attracts way more attention than Turbo Porsches (Motortrend Test by Justin Bell)

Amazing car and amazing times we are living in...and it has the best warranty: 5yr/100,000 mile

Your shorting the 1/4 mile time a little as the best is 10.74 @ 133 mph by blownlt1&c6z.

The salesman at the dealership where I bought my 2011 crystal red ZR1 called this afternoon to tell me that a guy saw my car recently at a restaurant and wanted to trade in his Porsche 911 for a ZR1 in the same color. Evidently there are none to be found in the area at the moment so he ordered one. In all the years I have owned sports cars, this was a first. Maybe I should have asked for a cut of the saleman's commission.

In any event, I really love this car!!!!

Default Yehaw!

Don't forget the ZR 1's ability to decimate a curvy road/road course. The 1/4 is amazing and the mile is blazing but the way this car takes corners is pure poetry. Hey the brakes aren't bad either. This car really does do everything at a very high degree.

I love this car more each time I drive it. It brings big smiles to my face and I have never had a car that is this good. Saw some complaints on another thread about the unpainted carbon fiber, but all I can say is it looks great on a black ZR1.

There's a Jet Stream Blue ZR1 here in Jacksonville in Gordon Chevrolet's showroom. I drooled over it for 40 minutes. Couldn't help but smile looking in the interior and actually seeing a factory built-in boost gauge in the cluster. Love this car.

JSB is definitely a hard color to capture on film. The shading and color changes seem to only be noticeable in person.

I've never seen the JSB, but the same goes for the CRM

Still loving my Z06 but you need goals in life. A ZR1 is my next toy!
