I agree with you regarding the blue calipers as a ZR1 trademark but must admit that the yellow goes nicely with your car. The car looks awesome! Congrats!

Awesome ride. I get the tradition of Blue, but I think the Yellow calipers look great.

Congrats, you'll definitely notice the crazy power increase over your Z06! I've noticed after I sold my M7 ZR1 that there's virtually none out there for sale, so I'm not surprised it took you 2 months to find one. I kind of miss that power, but not the worries of that front spitter getting torn off hitting all the pot holes we have here in Colorado! Enjoy Tad!

Nice ZR! I almost got yellow, but I wanted blue calibers and didn't think they would match with this shade of yellow. I ordered white w/chrome wheels, and I love the chrome wheel look on the ZR1. Keep in mind, there's lots of chrome wheel haters on this forum, but I prefer the chrome look and I'm conservative in terms of life & lifestyle. I get compliments ALL DAY LONG on the chrome wheel look of my Z. I'm also from Cincy (Univ. Of Cincinnati alum), but have lived in several different states--wife and I've been in TX since 2001 and love it.

I love your car Runnn. My other buddy has a white one with red calipers but I like the blue better. I just took it out for a nice ride and I absolutely love this car. I have had some great exotics but this is it. Thanks

Actually there are 2 sets and a friend of mine is a professional drummer and we play to you tube videos all the time. The pro audio 2000 watt system is off the hook. So much fun. Thanks

I imagine a lot different than the C8. Can you give us some insight on how they compare - similarities & differences?

Great looking ZR. And don't sweat the calipers - they work perfectly on that color combo.

I loved the C8 and the interior is beautiful. My only personal issue was that I enjoy shifting and found I was getting bored driving it. However the DCT is spot on. The car is lightning fast 0 to 60.

Congrats, I was bidding on that one with you. You're welcome! With the 15% buyers premium and shipping etc... had to stop. I think it's a gorgeous car and a great buy!

Best regards,
Dave

I was in until 101k bid, 15% buyer premium on top of that- got to be too much for a sight unseen car. I was sure it would be perfect but just in case couldn't go too far in. Gourgeous car though - I am kicking myself a little bit!

I drove up to see the car 2 days before and had a great friend check it out for me before I left Cincinnati. I brought my trailer.

Thanks Dave and speedyd. The car did not look like it does now. I drove 16 hours straight though and spent 6 hours with my buddy Josh detailing the car the next day. I was determined to get this car. Thanks.
