Rode in a ZR1 today

Had the opportunity to go for a ride along today - again - just like detailing it and starting it's sister red ZR1, it was an opportunity I will never forget.

I'm sure that everyone will understand why the driver will remain anonymous - let's not make an issue of that. Video was VERY much not allowed.

No time? Posting all those pics took a lot longer than a short narative of the ride.

You shoulda' entitled your post, "Pictures of me sittin' in a ZR1".

For an actual ride, you need 'words', not 'photos'...

Sorry, just been busy.

No photos were allowed of the car moving since it was the factory car and not Tom Hill's.

Car is VERY quiet on the inside, I think a lot of owners will put a catback system on it right away. The rear cabin is super "meh", meaning there is no special interior treatment on anything behind the driv/passenger seats. They could have put the ZR1 logo on the carpet in the rear area or something but didn't.

Shifting seemed smooth for the driver - the car seems very drivable as a daily machine. You feel every bump in the road though, I guess that is to be expected.
