Thank you and yours too!

I have 6,600 miles on it. I put on the APR Carbon Diffuser and Akrapovic EVO Full Exhaust system with 115 CF Tips. I still have all of the stock parts wrapped in bubble wrap.

Love the I/O ZR1!

Good Luck to the OP..........I spent 2 years to find my AO-ZR1.

These low production number cars can be found..........just don't give up and be ready to go anywhere at anytime for the "ONE"

I know, everytime I look at a car with the Carbon Diffuser and then the Carbon Akrapovic tips I want to add it to my list...But I'd spec the exhaust to come out to just less than $3,000.

I also have an '11 IO with an APR rear diffuser and 115mm carbon tipped Akra EVO exhaust I've seen your pics online many times when searching for an IO ZR1. If we ever showed up at the same parking lot it would be like two girls wearing the same dress to prom.

Also, I'm pretty sure our tips (straight carbon barrels) are the normal tip on all C6 Akra exhausts and not a "European" version. The C7 version has a flare at the end of the tip, but I'm not sure if they could be added to the older C6 exhaust. Every C6Z06 or ZR1 with Akra's that I've seem have the straight tips, but maybe they're adding the newer style to all currently produced C6 systems.

IO is a beautiful color and it grows on me every time I look at it. And no, mine isn't for sale. I sold a mint black ZR1 to get this one and will be keeping her for a loooooooong time. With only 69 made, they rarely pop up for sale but they will. Buyers just have to keep searching and be ready to pounce as soon as one does become available. Good hunting to the OP.

And I had a better experience buying from him than I ever had buying from a dealership as well. I already had a stock 11'ZR1 but when I saw his for sale here I pulled some strings to make the swap happen. He literally had EVERY single option on my wish list, down to the color and brand of parts even. It was unreal how similar our tastes are.

It's won Best in Show at two smaller car shows and placed in a large 150+ car show, but I always tell people it was Jeff who put the whole package together and I'm just the lucky second owner.

Yes - Jeff is a good guy. Beautiful car. He is enjoying his C7 Z as well as his McLaren.

I love the I/O ZR1. In my opinion, the best color to have!

I thought he sold the C7 a week or two after I bought the ZR1 from him? He did send me a few pics of the Lava Orange MP4-12C after he got it. Looks like Atomic Orange, but with less orange peel.....
