Default Saw one in the wild yesterday

Coming through Lake Havasu City's main drag yesterday I saw a beautiful white ZR1. This is the second ZR1 I have seen. Saw an orange one in Needles Ca a few months ago.
Here is a picture of what it looked like. Didn't have time to take a first hand picture.
Have any of you seen the new ZR1 in the wild around where you live?

One so far, a blue convertible.

The car is less interesting in person than I hoped.

I've seen several here in Knoxville.
There's always at least one on the showroom floor at one local dealer. Right now thre is a yellow one for about $110,000.

I haven't seen one yet in person. Not really a fan of the front end and the giant wing in the back, but maybe I just need to see one for myself.

Two of my club members each have one - both in Orange...

I wish someone would buy one in something other than that orange... A nice white or grey with kalahari interior would just make my jaw drop...

I think the look of the ZR1 is very sexy, but that oversized fin is just WAY too much... To me it looks like those idiots that bolt on a huge fin on the back their honda civic and have that WalMart loud exhaust, yet the car still does 0 to 60 in 7.5 seconds...

I live in DFW AND i haven’t seen a lot but around 10 so far. The last one I saw was a red vert with a woman driver. I always think it’s cool when I see women so into cars.

I live in Connecticut and haven’t seen one on the road yet but a dealer in North Haven has one in his showroom listed for $149,000.00. if you are interested they may take $2,000.00 off the price.😁 No deals in this state.

Couple of weeks ago, when it was still on the chilly side. There was an orange coupe, parked nose in in the garage I use in Newark, NJ. Still had the temp plates and a “Les Sanford” plate frame.

Saw a few last summer at Corvette’s at Carlisle. Kerbeck brought a white one and there was an orange one with a Spring Mountain Graduate sticker. While they were impressive, I thought, way too much for the street...
