Looks so much better with the lower wing!!


The taller wing looks like a 9th grade shop project.

The low wing and chrome wheels really set this one off!

I like the red of the ZR1 over the Z06. Both are nice though.

I like that they have a ZR1/Corvette! I couldn't care less if it's with chrome wheels, black wheels, high wing, low wing. I celebrate all enthusiasts getting what they paid for. I think it's time that we stop injecting our preferences on what someone else bought. When the person complaining about what I bought start to make the car payments, then I'll listen to what you have to say....PERIOD!

It does pop a little bit more doesn't it. Both are beautiful tho! Are both Torch Red? Show the paint shop's paint quality over the old I'm guessing.

Or is it the direct light vs indirect light giving that effect?

As the Z06 owner have no problem saying the paint quality on the ZR1 is Amazing, much more depth! I have ceramic pro on the Z for an extra pop, but the ZR paint side by side really wows people
It's fun to line them up side by side to compare

maybe the Clear coat formula or the way it's applied (less OP) makes the difference. wow is that noticeable. Having said that I still love the look of Deb's black Mirror/Wheel combo. it screams "Race". Mixed feelings of the front of ZR v Z06. I know they had to open up the cheeks to get it cooler but it's too open for my taste. but the way the hood flows on the ZR saves the day for me. Regardless, it's nice to watch the evolution of this generation. very cool over the years especially if it really is the last of the FE/RWD ones.

is there really a difference? If anything, the ZR1 has more orange in the mix. And depending on the year, they were probably painted in the same "shop". Both are nice examples.

Why is the ZR1's corvette logo is chrome vs Z06 black?
