Default First ZR-1 sighting......

I saw my first up close and personal ZR-1 yesterday at the Sacramento car show at Cal Expo. No price tag on it of course. Probably not for sale either. Silver with black interior. WOW.....

I went to the Sacramento car show on friday and they had a Blue ZR-1. That Vette looked AWESOME! The front brake rotors filled the entire inside of the wheel.

Sitting next to the ZR-1 was a stock C6 convertible which looked very plain in comparison.

The brakes are by far the sexiest thing about the ZR1,at least from the outside.

For those of you that haven't seen the brakes here you go.
This red ZR1 will be shown in an upcomming Top Gear show from the Salt Flats with a CTS-V and a new Challenger.
