Default ZR1 from Chicago Auto Show.

Thought I'd share some of my pics of the ZR1 Vert they had on display here in the Windy City. I tried to take good ones of the front nose so you guys can really see the lines it has.

One of my favorite things I noticed is the wheels are not just gloss black, they are carbon flash metallic!

Great looking car, but I'm more than happy with my Z51. Enjoy!

Beautiful car, but way out of my price range. Thanks for the pics.

great car. I have to admit I'm not in love with the design of the front fender vents.

The orange doesn't help. You can really notice it. So it is personal preference whether you like that or not. I don't care for it in orange but I like it in the darker colors.

Thanks for sharing the pics. I've yet to see one in person but from the pictures, I like the coupe much better. For the rear spoiler, to me it's either the big one or none at all. This small spoiler just looks out of place. I'm assuming they can't use the big one because it's a convertible.

I do agree the front intakes can look odd at some angles, but I do prefer the fully flared front fenders over the spats used on other models.

Very cool car. However definitely not enough difference from the Z06 for me to consider upgrading.

Me too. Kind of surprised they did not decide to use the same forms for the Z06 and GS. Just thinking it was a lot of expense to have different molds/forms for a rather limited production run like the ZR1.

Understandable, everyone has different opinions, heck my Z51 is more than enough car for me.

Let me just say thanks for the pictures and I am sure it is a track drivers dream but I in all honestly like the look of your Z51 Stingray better than the ZR1. JMHO
