I did the Jake stripe on the hood as well. I really like the looks of it.

Truly looks like a race car, about time they released a production car like this. The C6 ZR1 is a great looking car but this is definitely to another level. My only dislike with the C7 ZR1 is the side vents, they look tacky.

I heard in person it looks a bit cartoonish based on the color scheme....But to each their own.

Just sold my blade silver C7Z last Friday. Color choice is the toughest thing for me when getting a new car. I wanted to go with black this time after silver, two reds, and orange previously. However, seeing the blade silver ZR1 makes me rethink my decision.

Picking mine up friday and glad that I can finally stop rethinking my color choice...

The Blade Silver looks great I think and its the color I ordered as well. Still on the fence about the big wing, but the two wings look to be interchangeable. I have ordered the small wing but at some point maybe get the large one as a track option. I am only 5'9 so lifting luggage etc over that thing will be a problem. I ordered the two tone black and grey interior,
and being old school I went with the chrome wheels and emblems. It will fit in well with the 72! Can we get a picture of the jake stripe?
