They look amazing. How many years will they be building it? And if they didnt say, what do you predict?

WANT ONE!

They didn't say, but I predict three model years (2019, 2020, 2021).

This is kind of old school when others are going to start using VC-turbo engines in their cars next year. These engines should have been at the LA show.

There are four wheel options for the 2019 ZR1: Pearl Nickel, Carbon Flash Painted, Satin Graphite Painted, and Chrome.

The new Carbon Flash option can be seen on the Sebring Orange Convertible ZR1 that was revealed in LA. Be sure to check it out at the LA Auto Show this week if you are able to attend.

According to the order guide, this is for the ZR1 only for the 2019 MY.

Personally, I'm glad they are offering a wheel option that matches the rest of the Carbon Flash painted pieces on the car. (This is the reason I painted my 2014 Stingray wheels in Carbon Flash and why my 2017 GS Tribute wheels have Carbon Flash inner spoke.)

Looks absolutely phenomenal. I am especially glad they got rid of the plastic tack-on bits and did a proper front fender, and the wings are the aero this car reallly needed, plus they just look right.

Now I need to figure out how to get the little wing on my Z. RIP wickerbill.

Bravo GM.

And thanks to jagamajajaran for the very nice presentation.

Looks like GM/CORVETTE really took a page out of the Porsche playbook by making potential buyers REALLY pay through the nose for everything beyond the base. Hey $10,000 more here $6,000 more there and your starting to talk about some real money.

with the C8 ME in the wings, i'll save now for something really new.

If your there this week, look them up & take a peek at our name plates. Left rear of the super chargers under the shaker hood. Thanks again Jeremy & John!

Interesting as at most I want about $4K worth of the options in the list. Sounds like I'm better off just going with a 3ZR and adding the things I want.
