Not sure who you talked to, but Chevy did not have "a guy" (or girl for that matter) at the show.

The car was delivered directly to me via Reliable and the key fob was in my pocket all weekend.

Regarding the ZR1, I talked to a man dusting it off Sat. morning before the show opened, I assumed he was the rep and sorry if i got facts wrong, just quoting the man.

You aren't kidding! The guy from Reliable told me it had a governer which limited it to 35 mph, but I was afraid of it, so I didn't get a chance to see if he was telling me the truth. Anyway, it sure sounded good!
