Michael Jordan had a 93 ruby ZR-1 back in the day. He's been known to have a vette or two.

I remember reading an article about Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Jr. having a couple 2001 Z06 Corvettes being built and modified for around 500 hp. Anyone know what happened with those? The article was right before he was killed at Daytona.

Also I believe GM gave it to him. In fact, I believe a lot of the 53's were given to noteables at the time.
