Default I finally got one!
I traded my Z06 in for a ZR1. It's the same but different at the same time. Loving this thing so far!

Congrats ! Did you buy that from Ben at that dealership? He has been very helpful in my search for a Z06 / ZR1. Looking forward to your ZR1 content since I plan to join the club very soon.

I did work with Ben! He was great throughout the process. There will be a lot of ZR1 content to come! I hope you get yours soon! Are you from the area?

Down in VA near the Chesapeake Bay - just ordered a 2020 GT500 with carbon fiber track pack yesterday and the wife is still letting me get a new ZR1 so I need to move quick before she comes to her senses

......and black will be a bit more challenging to keep clean over red.....but nothing beats it when it is. Looks like you probably had to do this once you were home.

Yeah I'm hoping to get it clear bra'd and ceramic coated soon and then it should be a little easier to keep it shiny.
