Cleaned her up to get ready for the the clear bra application tomorrow. I still cannot believe how incredible this car is!!!!!! If you are considering a ZR1 and cannot decide, trust me, you will not regret it! The car just does everything and it looks great! Now if I can just keep myself from modding it, I will be good. My wife already has a prediction that, "whatcop?"will influence me to start the modding within the first week!! I'm holding on for now! Just a great all around car as it sits!!!

Very nice Nick! I know you have been looking for a while, but from what you described and the photos you got one sweet ride! As for mod's, drive it for a while - I decided not to mod mine for once but who knows what will happen in the future!

Hahaha! It actually came with a mild to wild but I think my first mod is going to be the driver mod; specifically adjusting to not being able to shift at 7K RPM's like I could in my Z06.

Ron, I still kick myself for not buying your first CG ZR1 when I had the chance!

So you know, you were a huge influence on my decision to switch to a ZR1 when you bought your, "mid-year" and later decided that you had to have your ZR1 back! That reinforces how great this car really is! Thank you! Nick

Congrats Nick!!!

I know you've been on the ZR1 fence for a while now, glad to see you fell on the right side finally.

Beautiful car...

If I got a zr1 immediately I would put akrapovic exhaust titanium with carbon fiber tips and HRE p40sc. Followed by caravaggio daytona seats, steering wheel, center console, shifter, e brake handle, carbon fiber around the navigation to replace the fake looking crap, carbon fiber headlights, carbon fiber mirrors, and apr carbon fiber rear diffuser.

End mods.

Congratulations on the purchase! Finding the right one is harder than most people think.

You better clear all mods to your car with Racer first in case you think you're a better driver than he thinks you are.

You couldn't be more right! Not sure if I mentioned it before but I started haggling on the price of this particular car back in January of 2012 when he had it listed at $92.5K. Hell, I had even given up on ever getting him anywhere close to the number I was willing to pay.

There were many other ZR1's that I wanted to buy but the situation with them just wasn't ever right. This one ended up that way and all I can say (yes, I know I've already said it over and over again) that this is an incredible car!
