Default Whats a ZHZ(package) Corvette?

I have searched and havent seen any mentions. I personaly looked at her on a trailer FULL of vetts going to the dealers when i noticed an odd looking yellow bird in the middle with wheels like ive never seen. After a closer look the window sticker say not for sale or display(?)

embroidered arm rest, head rest and black (427) stripes with painted Ron Fellows rear spoiler for starters. ZHZ on the fenders.

A good freind is posting pics shortly. LOOK for them.

Almost the bottom of the page under "Specialty Recreation Vehicle".

A factory ZHZ badge! Wow! That would make 1/3 of a factory Z51 badge for anyone wanting to mod it.

Well, the HZ certainly goes with a Hertz affiliation. This could be interesting. And it has the 7-spoke GCA wheels and side screens.

We took a tour of the factory during the bash. There was a center console that had the ZHZ on it. We asked about it and they said if was for the Hertzs cars. They had just started building them a day or so before.

They spoke about it at the Bash. Hertz came to GM looking for a special Corvette package for them. The rims are the GCA rims btw.

I personally would not option my Vette as Hertz has, but, it is their money.

If you buy enough cars this proves you can get whatever you want!!... I can remember when you could order almost anything you wanted on your vette........ not the cookie cutter approach like today..........

This Zhz tag isn't too bad. It's a way for potential buyers to be aware that the car most likely has been abused by multiple folks. Now the difficult part will be when a consumer buys the car and mods it to look like a regular "off the showroom" Vette.

IMHO...some things just don't go together and that is rental car agencys and Vettes. I think GM is chasing the almighty dollar right now and telling the private Vette owners to "screw off". GM does not care about the reputation of the Vette. If these are 2008's then I see the 2008 resale value being less in a few years as the uninformed consumer will not know whether or not the Vette they're buying is a used Zhz or regular stock. This just ain't good folks, IMHO.
