Just purchased this baby today. I should have it within a week or two. The big wing was not installed at the factory when these pics were taken a few hours ago.

Nice grab. Car is a beast. Are you planing on tracking it? I have a 15 z06 that i track. Was thinking of picking up a zr1 but have decided for the extra money i will keep the z06 and do some track upgrades. Gt3 rs has always been on my bucket list too so have been considering doing that. Would love a 16 UV

Been playing with idea of one of these.. discounts are insane. But I heard that zr1 is hard to control on power, and z06 overheating issues.. so grandsport is actually Goldilocks for track?? Been watching videos but can't find a definiteve answer yet. Thinking z06 with the z51 package though.

I dislike the new midengine one.. proportions AND details are all off to my eyes. The current c7 is quite attractive actually

Definitely a beast, Alex. I was looking for contrast to my GT3 and the ZR1 checks all the boxes. The Z06 with Z07 package i drove hard was very planted. I drove the manual 7/10ths and it felt almost as good as my GT3 in the corners. Very very close. The manual is great. This ZR1 will be an animal. I too think the C7 looks better.

Ahem, you’re never going to rack up 100k on your gt3 if you keep buying toys.
