Default My new ZR1

Hi all!

I’ve been a member here for a little while mainly as a window shopper. I’ve been searching for the perfect ZR1 for me, and luckily I found her!

Most of you might have seen her in the classified. I’m in disbelief that it’s actually in my garage now with 1082 miles. (delivered with 1074)

I’d love to know how many other cars are out there in this spec, I can’t imagine very many. The car is a 2012 PDE package car with cashmere interior, factory black headlights and yellow calipers.

The engine was built by Ron Hein.

The car will be getting a Kong performance intake, 2” American Racing headers and E85 with a tune in the near future.

Beautiful ZR1! Enjoy that exhaust. I love mine. Will sound even better with those 2" ARH headers.

Great looking car!! Black headlights are a must. Do with it, as YOU wish, being that YOU paid for it.

Congrats!! What a great find!

I picked up my '11 about 18 months ago with 478 miles on it. Nothing like getting a brand new car, right? Everyone is going to ask you what you paid... doesn't matter. You paid ~50% probably of the original sticker... and worth every penny.

Thank you everyone! Can't wait to rack up the miles, it'll make a great weekend toy! I had no idea these cars had seat bolstering adjustments until I got mine, that was a nice surprise. I definitely need to get the brake pads a little burnished to help braking feel and tint the windows as soon as possible.

I also took the car up to about 85 mph, the road was a little bumpy but the steering wheel didn't have any vibration on acceleration or deceleration, which calmed my concerns about the CCB shakes I read about.

Is that a regular feature or something only on 12-13’ cars? 3ZR only option?

I cant wait to have 5% all the way around, looks sharp!

Yes, 12-13s have upgraded seats in all Corvettes (base, GS, etc).
