The 2009 ZR1 will make its Northern California debut on June 22nd in Palo Alto at The 42nd Annual Palo Alto Concours d'Elegance.....

The 42nd Annual Palo Alto Concours d'Elegance is poised to uphold the reputation of quality which sets this automotive event apart from others in the Bay Area. Plans are underway to once again assemble a field of outstanding sports, racing, vintage and classic cars, supplemented by a variety of special-interest auto displays.

The Concours takes place on SUNDAY, JUNE 22, 2008, on the Stanford University athletic fields. CORVETTE, America's sports car, is the American marque, and ALFA ROMEO has been chosen as the European marque. Although for quite different reasons, both hold positions of high regard in the automotive community, and pristine examples of both will be on display.

Our 2008 GALLERY OF THE GREATS will feature retired Indianapolis racecars, and the SUPERCAR exhibit will feature the latest in exotics - always showstoppers. We are working to create a special exhibit of Rods and Customs; all the work of Steve Moal. We will have the VINTAGE TRAILERS back again this year with plans to double the size of the trailer park. It should be impressive.

As usual, there will be plenty of food, entertainment, auto-related vendors, and convenient FREE parking. From I-280, go east on Sand Hill Road for about a mile. The show field is located on the right at the corner of Sand Hill and Pasteur Drive, just before the Stanford Shopping Center.

Pretty cool... though I just saw 7 of them last week at the 'vette assembly plant. 3 on the line w/o drivetrain and 4 completed ones. The brakes are just amazing.

It sucks they make this show on the same weekend Tahoe is planned.

So all the ZR1's get blue callipers now.
Huh.

So who will be first to jump on the blue banwaggon?

For the record, mine were blue before the ZR1 came out.

Well, I guess I'm one to be talking.

I have a cozy seat on the red caliper banwagon bus.

Blue with blue I can see.

It will just be funny seeing all these new blue caliper cars, with contrasting paint.

We'll have to wait and see.

One of our club members is on the Board of Directors for the NCM. He just spent four days in a ZR1 carving up the backroads of Colorado. He said it was the most unbelievable experience of his life. He currently owns / drives a 2006 Z06 (car #2 off the assembly line).

Sorry about the crappy camera phone.

I was at the concours set-up this morning too. The two things that really caught my attention were the brakes (worth killing for), and the sound at idle and near-idle ... very low key and sophisticated, nothing like a standard Vette or Z06. The body mods look MUCH better in person than in photos. The plastic sky dome in the hood looks great! All the signs point to Greatness!
