Default SAVAGE ZR1 Review!- The Best Corvette Ever Made?

Not sure if anyone's posted this yet, but "ThatDudeinBlue" just reviewed a bolt on 11' ZR1 about a week ago.

Nice video.

My favorite comment comes from the Jay Leno ZR1 review of his 2009 serial 00001 . Its the latest comment still.

Mickey Hartsell - 2 months ago

It's 2016 and I still think the ZR1 is the best looking badass corvette ever..the new ones just don't do anything for me,but the ZR1 ***** me up inside..


This is exactly how I feel. Every time I look at it it sucks the air out of my lungs. Thats money well spent IMO

was thinking of selling my zr1 , got offered a great deal on it, but after riding in an 17 z06 auto trans. with all the goods , it didn't seem to compare with my z ,, , maybe later the new body style will catch on with me

Having had the pleasure of owning one for two years i must say i loved it.My only complaint was the cheap interior.Braking ,handling,sound,speed were awesome.Now its gone and we shall see what the next car will be.

Great video. We've all experienced the grin he gets when he nails that bad-boy. No sweeter sound than that. The G's aren't too shabby either. Just a great car!

TTS Porsche is something to consider, we did since it is totally different driving experience.

That was my car until couple weeks ago , I recently traded it in to TexasHotRides, I miss the car alot already and hope it goes to a great home! If you know someone looking for one badass ZR1 send them that way , its still for sale as of today.
