I saw the ZR1 in person today...I think it looks AWESOME! Especially in the pearl orange. It has a mean, tough look to it. Personally I liked it more than the McLaren 720s in a similar color. Both cars are pretty badass IMHO. I'd love to hear it in person...
Btw, it does look better without plastic SPATS!! lol.

As for people complaining about a charity auction being a scam, WTF? It is a good cause and all proceeds go to charity on this car, so who cares if it sells for $100k or $2M. It is a nice tax write off for whoever wins it anyways.

I disagree. I thought it looked cheap, front end was too boy racer, and mounting of the wing looked like an afterthought.

I think they did a great job. If you don't like the ZR1, then you probably straight up HATE the Z06, cause it's a lot nicer than the Z06 IMHO. You probably also don't like the GT3RS or GT2RS. Something in common with these super fast track cars? Front splitters and big rear wings. It's not for everyone...unless you want to be fast on track.
The good news is, if you don't like it, you don't have to buy one.

not that I can afford it and with my current set mind I dont think I would over pay that much for a car but I do understand completely why and how a car is sold for this much.
is no different from many well established high ranking billionaires pay 10,000 -100,000 for a dinner plate at a white house event, is not about the dinner at all,
the fact that is more of a high donation to a charity and a Tax deduction for the rich the car is a added bonus plus your getting that # 1 production.
