ZR1s out in the wild.
 

Hey all.
Vegas is a popular place for a lot of manufacturers to test out their pilot cars. I saw a c6 in late '02 and a Stingray about nine months before they were released for sale.

Last week I was driving down a heavily traveled road close to the house, same place I saw the Stingray. I'm in heavy traffic but THIS caught my attention.

Both had manufacturer's plates.
I was only able to get up to the convertible and that's when I noticed it had a small deck wing. I got the attention of the driver and asked what option it was. She said "I'm not allowed to say". To which I said, "Oh! ZR1!". She shrugged and said, "Well...."
Interestingly, the convertible had a yellow front bumper cover. It also had the very aggressive front splitter. The one thing that really caught my attention was how high the cowl on the car is. I would venture to say it's at least 3" above the rest of the hood.
Sadly, due to traffic, this was the only picture I could get.

Unfortunately, another reason that would make it hard for me to buy this car.

How can anyone not like the raised cowl hood. Geeez

I do not care for it either.

Maybe in person I'd change my mind.

jagamajajaran, who is not tall, sat in the the convertible at the November 28th reveal and said “no problem seeing over the cowl.”

A) Safety awarness.
B) It's a Sportscar, not a Muscle Car.
I'm 5'10" and every square inch of visibility helps in my Z06.
Anyone who says visibility looking out of a C7 is fine must have 3 eyes.

Maybe a sports car with muscle :D

I agree saw the ZR1 at the LA show and the hood was one of the things I really loved about the car.

+1 hood is badazz

you must of voted for Hillary. Trump supporters love the new hood!

:rofl: :rofl:

I love the hood!

LOVE the hood and the big azz wing :woohoo:Hoping they let me sit in the one at the Rolex this week :D

OK, here in Michigan this morning where it was still dark, I came across a dark red/maroon color but it did not have a manufacturer plate but a regular plate. I know the pictures are dark and you really can't see the car or big wing but you can see those rear tires. Trust me, I rolled down the window and it sounds like a beast!


Are people taking deliveries already?

Can still see the taillights

I know, right? They went to the trouble of redesigning the front but couldn't distinguish the rear beyond the wing. Another wasted chance. :rolleyes:

I think the raised cowl looks great.:thumbs::cheers:
