Default Finally made the change....

Well after many years in a couple C6 Z's I finally made the move to a ZR1! I loved my Z06 and thought they would be basically the same car but they are not. I was really good with my Z06 until I went to Spring Mountain and then I was done, 2 days in a ZR1 fixed that.
The only disappointment I have is my 360's will not fit the ZR1 but at least the Corsa did..lol
Old one-

new one-

Could not agree more-just went from a C6Z (VY) to a ZR1 (VY)...I was fortunate enough that my HRE's fit....Congrats on a great car

That looks killer, the wheels make a huge difference. I know not everyone likes the black wheel thing but I just cant get into the chrome for some reason and I loved the blk on white of my old one.

awesome cars guys. i am looking at purchasing soon and only considered the z06 until a few weeks ago and am hooked on the prospects of the ZR1 now. IMO, the black cup wheels are the perfect look for an "out of the box" ZR1 or Z06.
