Also, the gear shifter on the PDE is insane! That is how a supercar should feel when you are shifting it! (by the way, thanks for letting me drive it Lance)!

As far as the color...you must see it in person! When Lance was ordering this car we were both a little worried about the color but now that I've seen it in person, its a winner! Don't go by pictures, go see it in person!

Thanks again for your repeat business Lance and we'll see you again in a few weeks!

Dave
Thanks for jumping in Dave, great catching up with you and the rest of the Kerbeck team. Ironically enough this was the third ZR1 purchased through Kerbeck - dating back from 1995! We still have 2 of the 3

I appreciated your professionalism and always enjoy how involved you keep your customer in the purchase - including random updates & etc.

Here's to many more ZR1's in the future!

Life is good!

Lance

Was not a fan of the Carlisle blue when we saw the first shots of the Grand Sport convertible but I have to admit it looks MUCH better with the contrasting carbon fiber. Those machined Cup wheels really make the entire look of the car!

Congrats Lance - count me in as looking forward to the release of 'The Quest' on DVD. No local showings here in SC or GA that I was aware of. Would love to see it on the silver screen first. Will the DVD be available for order?

Interesting choice. Color looks very effeminate and actually makes the car look smaller. Love the wheels. I'm sure there will always be somebody in the market for a very unique color, so resale most likely won't be compromised. Like to get your opinion on the gear shifter, that's about the only complaint I have with mine(besides the radio/nav).

The DVD will be on sale during Corvettes at Carlisle for the first time, I was glad to hear this from Michael Brown!

Check out http://questdocumentary.com to order online - it's not available yet - but it won't be long!

Cheers,

Lance

I didn't think I would like that color, but your car looks really good!

It's got the two-tone interior - really nice seats! I also went with a blue stitching to provide a nice accent. I really like the look of it...

Glad to hear your decision. Your dad proudly told me about it years ago at Pocono after seeing mine.

Let me know when you make it up to Pocono, will try to get other ZR1's up there, too.

I really like the color. Finally redemption for the UNC folks the fact you can own a "Carolina Blue" blue devil

Would love to see some pics of the black wheels too....

Congrats!

This color has grown on me, and I never thought it would. Seeing it in person changed it for me, as I don't see this color as being very photogenic.

Yup. The rumblings were true. That color looks pretty good on the Z!
