Default Rick Mears edition vette?

Anyone tell me what a Rick Mears edition corvette is? A place is selling a 95 and I've got no clue what the difference is.. searching on the web doesn't end up with much.

I wonder if they mean the ZR-1? I remember a story that Rick Mears got one of the first production ZR-1's (1990), then gave it to his brother Roger. Rick was #1 in the Indy car circuit back then. As for the '95 you are referring to, that is the last year for the ZR-1. I'm very partial to that model!

There was a body kit that was designed by Larry Shinoda that I think was called the Rick Mears edition. One of the Corvette magazines just recently did an article on one of them.

hrmm... never was much of one for ground effects, but I guess it won't hurt to go look at it.
