Does this car have the visible carbon weave hood insert or is that the standard one? I thought the standard one has only the top of the supercharger in carbon weave.

The visible carbon weave hood insert is standard equipment on the ZR1.
I love the front end and hood.. but look at the wheel fender gap.
I was concerned that the added down force might cause oversize tires to rub on track..........looks like that likely wont be the case as it does appear there is more clearance than with the C7GS/Z.
If you use the car as intended.... Road course and high speeds..... You are going to miss that wing if it's gone.
Right, but I do not use my current '12 ZR1 that way (except that one time at the Texas Mile to join the 200+ MPH Club), and would not use this one that way either.

No, the gap is so large because the bolts are likely set very high like many of cars that arrived from the factory. This gap is no more than most of the cars I have seen in person and on forum that come from factory.
Like all the other C7 variants, however, you likely wont be able to lower it as low as the standard shock Bilsteins go as the MSRC setup wont go as low.
Interesting photos...I like the wheels in silver rather than the black, which has been shown in every other photo I've seen. And as much as I like chrome, this car should NOT even have chrome as an option! However, I don't like the big wing, even though it's functional for those who plan to track the car. I have the feeling, though, that the majority of ZR1 buyers are never going to put their cars on a racetrack, and the wing will be for show--kind of like monster 4 x 4 buyers who never go off-road.
I was wondering if the ZR1 front "bumper cover(?)" would fit on a C7 Grand Sport or Z06 since they're all "wide bodies." I figured someone would eventually customize his/her non-ZR1 by bolting on the ZR1 piece. But earlier photos from different angles made the nose look good--real aggressive; but the close-up of the Matrix Gray car shows it to be a little odd looking and protruding out beyond the center grille opening.
