Default C7 ZR1 - HOU area opportunity

Hey guys!

I’m the media director at Houston’s Royal Purple Raceway and want to let you guys know that if anyone takes delivery of a new ZR1 in the area and would like to run it down the track to direct message me. I can offer vip access and make sure you get all the runs you want. I know drag racing isn’t for everyone but we love having the large Corvette community always come out. Can’t wait to see one of those beast and sharing all the footage we capture.

Thanks!
John

This is an awesome offer. Hopefully somebody takes you up on this! I'd like to see the C7 ZR1 laying down mid-high 10s bone stock.

We have a couple customers expecting them in shortly. We will be in contact to test stock and then of course after some of our upgraded HP packages are complete.

Awesome offer. Hope you get some takers PLEASE make a video! I fear it'll be a long while before we see them hitting any tracks regularly (besides ss717 like him or not).

Mine won't be built for a couple of months, but if you want a 720S to run a ZR1, I'd be interested.

Thank you to everyone that has reached out. No rush on this, so once you guys get your cars hit me up and we will do something special to showcase them.
