Any suggestions? What about going to the drive-in? I think they are closed for the season around the last week in SEPT.

I would also like to start charging $1.00 per event attendee. I need to build up my ZR1 fund after seeing the car in person at carlisle!!

If we can get 5 or 6 people together, we can all go in on a ZR-1. I'm good for at least $5.34; the other 4 or 5 people can come up with the remaining amount.

or

License Bluewasp LLC or INC, and make the ZR-1 you 'business' car. I can be your CIO and will only drive the ZR-1 to 'business' meetings (i.e: Hooters, Outback and BK)

After looking (again) at a ZR1 this past weekend, how lame is the tupperware lid over that SC

Never been big on grey, pewter, or silver painted cars but that cyber grey is nice. Tons of metal flake in it.

A club member ordered one in JSB. It was built last Tuesday I believe.

If I had the cash to order a new vette I would order cyber gray/grey with the dark mod red. It seems a majority doesn't like that combo but I think it looks very nice.

I was at the plant at 11:30am tuesday and saw two JSB ZR1s. Very nice. One was completed and sitting near the repair area. The other was on the line as we were walking around. Most of the ZR1s were Cyber Gray

I believe the paint is done. Should be into re-assembly this week.

You can always paint the Impala cyber gray.

I've seen a similar color combo to that in a BMW 335i that has come to the CFA cruise-in before. It's a nice car and a nice combo.

I don't see myself driving a grey car though...but I like seeing it on other people's cars.

Rob, Cyber Gray is sharp! The blue metal flake is amazing!! The 2009 Cyber Gray Convertible Callaway Corvette that was delivered at Carlisle over the weekend, was HOT!! While it had the two-tone charcoal/gray interior, I see your point on the red and agree, it would be neat. Need help ordering one?
