Congrats, on a great acquisition. White pops on a ZR1 with the carbon fiber trim. Nice stable mate, as well.
Two thoroughbreds! 95% of us are jealous, the other 5% are jealous too, but won't admit it. LOL

Beautiful! I love the look of black on white. The darker tint with the black wheels and all the other black accents (especially the headlights) really pulls it all together.
How much do you love that Akra exhaust, haha? Have it on my Z06 and absolutely love it. Get compliments almost every time I take it out.

Big congrats!! Love it. Mine too came with the chrome which I like but also have the black satin cups for my red zr1 - next spring will swap out - i enjoyed my zr1 having only owned it for 3 months - going to be a long winter 😓

Congrats on your new beautiful zr1!
Good call with the new wheels, i think it suits it better with the black headlights.
So how does it feel compared to the turbo s? Acceleration? Breaking? I already know you'll likely say steering feel is better in the Porsche cause I've driven many turbos and one turbo s.
Enjoy your new car!

Can the OP please state exact size of Front and Rear Tires AND Brand/Model of Tires????
I have 2012 Grand Sport and have been wanting to change to 19" Forged/Rotary Forged 10 Spoke Wheels
19" Front and Rear So as to avoid the 20" 25 aspect sidewall....
Am I wrong to want to stay with a 19" Rear Wheel and 30 Aspect Tire for a less harsh ride,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I like the GM CUP style wheels, but dont care for the ALL Black Wheel/Tire "LOOK" that has

Love White on Black!
Thank you! I have been on the hunt for a white one and was stoked when I found this car locally.. Very different cars for sure, thanks again!
Thank you, I agree 100%. The Akra exhaust is like jewelry on the back!
Thank you, thats a gorgeous Firehawk as well, enjoy!
Thank you!
Thank you, you won't regret the cup wheels they really change the look of the car.
Thank you, the Turbo S is more refined and the fit and finish is at a different level then the ZR1. The Turbo S would eat it up from a dig but I think the ZR1 would hold its own on a highway roll if I can row through the gears quick enough. Brakes are on a whole different level with the Turbo S, almost makes the ZR1 brakes feel like you are driving a truck in comparison..
Thank you!
Thank you!
they are the tires that it came with from the factory:
Front 295/30ZR/19
Rear 335/25ZR/20
Car rides stiff but thats to be expected with a sports car...
I disagree with the black wheel infiltration comment but to each their own I guess
Thank you!

The brakes do feel different in the turbo s, I find the zr1 feels squishy, but you should be able to stop 60-0 in 91 feet compared to the 98 feet your turbo s does it in. You have carbon ceramics so you know the brake burnishing makes a world of a difference, I had to redo mine once after a detailer used tire shine spray .... I'm wondering if yours was done correctly
