Yours is one of the best looking cars on this forum.

I have a Z06, and think the ZR1 looks better... particular the hood. The fender spats never really bother me, but the wider fenders are certainly an improvement. Still on the fence with the rear spoiler, wheels, and badging.

I came to the decision 1 month ago that I like the looks of the ZO6 better. But I haven’t seen the ZR1 before me.

Z06! Even though I love the ZR1 front/grill does't make up for the ugly rear wing in my opinion.

IMO the rear end is the least attractive part of the car (far too busy and Transformer-ish), and adding the ZR-1 spoiler may be a good thing for track use, but for street use, looks like it belongs on a Toyota or Honda Civic

The Z06 is perfect to me in terms of sleekness. I think a less angular ZR1 front fascia would be a welcome addition with perhaps the lower ZR1 spoiler in the rear.

I don't like the larger hood bulge on the ZR1. It makes the ZR1 look more like a muscle car and less like a sports car.

...and I absolutely hate the wheels.

Default Z06 w/mods

I like the aggessive looks of the ZR1 but I have to have the low wing. The problem for me is that it would stand out too Mich. I like a slightly lower profile. My perfect Z06 would have the ZR1 hood with the larger blower with better heat control. I don' really need all that power but prefer larger rotors so they do not have to spin as fast and generate extra heat. I think the Z06 has the perfect look.

If I had a garage at a track like up in Chicago and could leave a car there simply for the track, I'd definitely put a ZR1 in that garage. For more time on the street and an occasional track event, I go with the Z06.

Z06 all the way. I guess I’m the only one that thinks the front of the ZR1 is just as ugly as the wing. To each their own.

Meh, they are both the same to most people.

No, you are not the only one.

They are both great looking Vettes. But if I had to pick one, I would pick the ZR1 because I think the hood is looks awesome, and I am not a fan of the transparent tops.

I would like to own either one.

Wonder where all the water goes when you drive in the rain with that giant hole in the hood? I think the scoop and everything in black is attached to the engine.

Both have their points. I like the Z06 hood and side vents better. I know why the ZR1 hood looks like it does, but I'm not a fan. I freaking love that ZR1 front end though. So freaking aggressive. Some will say it's too much but it simply works so well with the lines of our cars. I'd love to see someone build this for the Z06.

Too much black and red going on. Why not make one uniform color?

Those sure are pretty pictures, I'll take the ZR1 because we already have the Z06 in Sebring Orange.
