Joe Basil Chevrolet - Centennial Edition ZR1 delivered to customer

I was talking to misteromann$ and I though I would just post the pics here too. THE most amazing car I have every seen with a bowtie! The interior was the same as other ZR1’s other than the badges so I didn’t take any pics of that. The tech who did the PDI (pre-delivery inspection) told me he could pick up the rear wheel/tire combo with his fingers… that’s how light they were. Judging by the tread depth he thinks 4000 miles max out of the tires starting with a 4/32 depth (335’s by the way). Just driving around the building stones were sticking in deep so I would be inclined to agree. I bet they stick to the track like nothing else though.

Dear lord.

What else is different from the regular ZR-1?

Pretty mean looking, almost to the point that it looks like a total track car, and not something you’d cruise around town in.

X…

Mechanically nothing but cosmetically there is carbon fiber everywhere and a wheel and tire package that blows away the standard package.

EDIT: this is a local car so people will see it driving around hopefully.

So just rice?

Beauty!

I think those wheels would look much better in silver. I’m also sick of all these editions for the sake of editions.

pretty soon they will be like mustangs where the most rare edition is the regular non-special edition GT.

Hot car… somebody told me about possibly seeing this yesterday.

It is not just rice… it’s rice with steak.

What an amazing looking car! 638hp with a bowtie on the front. Awesome. :tup:

Yes David thanks for rubbing it in!!!
If people would stop selling properties, maybe I could have a nice car again!
Is the centennial package just available on the corvette or will it be brand wide?

Wild…

Just the ZR1 so far as I know. The Camarillo has it’s own anniversary package for the 45th in 2012.

Red stiching and black wheels, zomg!!!111

Is it just me or is the hood cowl larger? I know the z06’s get different hoods.

Great car :tup:

Wheels :tif:

Nice tie.

Rice package or not this thing looks fucking awesome.

The owner of the company I work for has like 4 vettes. I heard he got a special edition new one recently, I wonder if it’s his??? Customer’s initials DS by any chance?

I agree 100%. Wheels look like pep boys specials. Still a ZR1. :tup:

How long till the Basil license plate cover comes off? Love the rims.
