Default Corvette GT1

I saw this 2009 Corvette GT1 at a dealer in Phoenix the other day, so I stopped and took a few photos. Only 400 miles on it

A street Corvette with racy stickers and a GT1 sticker.....cheesy!

Reminds me of what Ford used to do with Mustang. Take a stock car, add a bunch of stickers, give it a new name and charge alot more for it.

Is there really nothing special about it (engine, trim, etc.) other than the exterior sticker stuff?

Does not do it for me, too many graphics and color combo just does not hit the Hot button for me.

Great car. You will never please everybody, but I'd be happy to have a GT1 in my garage.

Its graphics kit. Thats it. I have a couple of clients who have them and they are just overpriced decals. Both of the ones I have seen though are Z06s... not base models.

When a platform starts to get old, we see lots of "special editions"....

Hey .... I wonder how those GT1 stickers would look if I slapped them on my Camry?

Yup .... I think I will remove the rear emblem I put on it that says CamryR (that's a "Race Version" Camry) and turn it into a Camry GT1

Cheesy pretty much describes it. But someone who doesn't know a cylinder head from a muffler will buy it. GM knows what they're doing with crap like that.

Of course, if you buy this Corvette with the special GT1 package, your going to have to memorize the countries that all those flags represent.

You would feel kinda stupid if someone came up to you and asked what country that yellow and red flag came from ... And your response was: "I dunno I just bought the car with these stickers on it"

1 of 29 NOT 17. Graphics are vinyl. For collectability they have screwed it up and painted the calipers red. The car came out of Courtesy Chevrolet in San Jose Ca.
