Saw this bad boy on the road today
 
Saw this bad boy on lakeridge rd south of uxbridge today. Gorgeous color. A fleeting glimpse i saw.

Picture courtesy of Bruce/Slacks who saw it up close and personal. I met him on the road and of course i got the Vette wave.

Beauty pic! Man, that thing is sweet! Seen it in Uxbridge a few times already. Saw it actually south of Cannington on Sunday morning. First time I saw it, I had to do a double take. Couldn’t believe there was a ZR1 in my small town of Uxbridge, lol!

Not at all what I was thinking.

My son said it looks like a life size transformer toy with an ironing board on the back.

Not wild about the colour but to each their own. My eyes are drawn to the wheels, not wild about them at all. Aftermarket or a GM on crack decision?

I about wrecked the car laughing so hard.

Certainly not! But if I had one I would change the wheels and definitely wouldn't get the large spoiler.

Me too. Pretty sure this car came from Addison in Mississauga. I was there ordering a part and met the fellow who bought it. The car had just come in and they hadn't even prepped it yet. He was asking about 3M coverage and I showed him the stuff on my car.

The ZR1 now has so many "add-on's" it's beginning to look like a cartoon. Most of the higher end exotic cars are doing more with the underside of the car to increase down-force so they don't have to resort to the big wings. But at the Chevy price point such stuff it too expensive.

Not knocking the ZR1 because you can't match its performance at even twice the price, but the looks are not my taste...

I would drive this car in a heartbeat!

Hopefully this guy doesn't want to join the forum and come on some cruises.:willy:
Thank God everyone has different tastes or we'd all be driving the same bone stock Vettes!
The wheels and wing are subjective, though I don't hate them, and on a Rear wheel drive car with 755 Horses, it IS Functional. I'm sure he doesn't give a rats a$$ whether or not I like the wing, nor should he!

There's some things I've seen on cars I may not like, but that's my taste. This is his beast and hope he is having a blast driving it!!:cheers:

You are of course correct Corrado. His car and is undoubtedly enjoying the hell out it despite our thoughts.
