Corvette ZR1.

F Body · April 30, 2009, 07:08:40 AM

I found a brand spanking new Corvette ZR1

Crappy phone pictures later

So what do I think

It doesn't look like a $100,000 or £110,000 priced car, it has the best interior of any Corvette, all leather covered even if some of the stitching was coming undone

It has plenty of carbon fibre bits, roof and bonnet etc , but for some strange reason the outside of the bonnet is colour matched to the rest of the car

So to sum up I wouldn't buy one, my $100,000 would go on a Dodge Viper ACR, but hell I need that drive train in my Camaro

And too think I had a good day at work making a punch tool.

Is that the same car Clarkson took around Nevada with Hammond and May in a Challenger and Cadillac?

Looked a pretty nice car. I don't think the exterior styling is anything amazing though. I think it they dumped that supercharged engine in a '70 body, then you'd have a pretty sweet corvette.

The ZR1 interior was not up to the CTS-V interior on Top Gear, but the exterior looks have grown on me...

$100,000 seems fair (you'd do well to find a base 911 for that I should imagine) considering the performance, but £110,000 is just taking the p*ss as usual..

Sorry Guy's had to make a few changes because of security issues

Andy · April 30, 2009, 03:17:31 PM

That colour is ace. Liking the blue contrast.

I never said it was my thumb

Grim. Just grim.

I don't get why they can't put a more solid arse on them?

That demo that clarkson does kinda ruins looking at the rear as you can see its not as solid as it looks and the paint reflects badly.

Didn't really have the time but for you Guy's I did it anyway

It was in pieces having the headlights changed to Euro Spec at £1.5K each side

Not a thumb to be seen
