Default New to me ZR1

Thanks for the help with the purchase folks. Looking back, I think I would have kicked myself for not buying this gorgeous car!!!

2011 Supersonic Blue, 1450 mile car with the 3ZR package. Friend of mine traded it in for a new GS coupe. Car is sitting at Glasslife Atlanta getting some paint correction and ceramic coating done. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Thanks for the kind words. We had the house custom built, and the garage on my side is 2.5 cars deep.

How can someone buy a car like this and put only 1450miles in 6 years?

Congrats!

Congrats! I'm in Marietta. There's another guy here near me with a '10 Red ZR1 also. We've both been on the CF about the same time.

Nice stable. Life's good, huh? As I've said before, you'll love that ZR1. Man, it looks great!

Thanks again for all the kind words. Hopefully get the 69 Camaro back shortly too. I'll get my buddy down and we'll get a family picture of the cars...lol!

Nothing but rain here, so no driving the Z. Curious as to how it accelerates compared to the 427. I've driven a CTS-V and when the SC kicked in, hold on!

You're going to have a blast. It's going to be much quicker than the CTS-V you drove.

It'll pull a lot harder than the 427, especially down low. The LS7 is a consistent building "pull" of power that mounts as you get closer to 7,000. Whereas the LS9 just shoves you into your seat in any gear and rpm. You'll be blown away. Literally get it "Blown" away? Terrible, I digress.
