Default ZR1 at Spring Mountain

Corvette Quarterly Magazine, Corvette Marketing Manager Gary Claudio, racecar drivers Andy Pilgrim and Oliver Gavin were at Spring Mountain last week driving the fabulous, new ZR1, along with Spring Mountain Z06 and Z51 Corvettes. I was privileged to have the opportunity to take a ride with Gary Claudio piloting the ZR1 and this car is everything that we have heard and dreamed about.

I really wanted a ride rather then watch them wash it. Too bad. Maybe next time.

Good idea

This was a photo session and overall impressions of the car by the drivers. I know that you are anxious to get all of the fine details, but I don't have them, only my humble observation that the car is SUPER !!
