Finally a C7 I would own.
This red convertible was captured out of its cage. This is literally the first C7 I’ve see that made me say to myself,OH YEA.

755 HP (SAE) & 715 TQ (SAE); wow, that amount of power out of production car costing hundreds and hundreds of thousands less than any other OEM.
I am excited GM has provided this opportunity for all who are wanting one.

Jeff, it is beautiful but the C7 Z06 is still a pretty formidable car that doesn't look too different. The ZR-1 is kind of like a Z06 on steroids

Same here. I saw this in the convertible thread and would love to see more pics of it. This has to be the baddest supercar made since you can get it with a stick. None of the exotics that I know of give you this option anymore. Porsche had to create a lesser model to bring it back which I applaud but I am not and never will be interested in one.

My Z06 vert is an unspeakable blessing and so much fun, except when payments are due, but then after leaving the bank I fire it up and switch to track mode and blip the throttle. The exhaust bark alone is worth the whole price. A ZR1 vert is the only thing that could possibly replace it. If you can swing one yourself, you'll more than see what all the C7 fuss has been about!

I have a Z06, and the ZR1 is the new top dog for the C7... no debating.

The ZR1 looks to me like a Ferrari wannabe.

You boys have it all wrong....it's not a Ferrari look-alike. It's more Lamborghini looking to me, which is a good thing, in my view!

maybe in pictures it slightly resembles a lambo or ferrari if you stand about 10 feet from the monitor and squint your eyes right before the screen times out. But in person there are only a few similarities like they all have tires.
