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. ![http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/IMG_20111006_125535.jpg](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/IMG_20111006_125535.jpg) ![http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/IMG_20111006_125521.jpg](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/IMG_20111006_125521.jpg) ![http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/IMG_20111006_125509.jpg](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/IMG_20111006_125509.jpg) ![http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/IMG_20111006_125451.jpg](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/IMG_20111006_125451.jpg) ![http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/IMG_20111006_125436.jpg](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/IMG_20111006_125436.jpg) ![http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/IMG_20111006_125351.jpg](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/IMG_20111006_125351.jpg) ![http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/IMG_20111006_125159.jpg](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/IMG_20111006_125159.jpg) ![http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/IMG_20111006_125137.jpg](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/IMG_20111006_125137.jpg) ![http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/IMG_20111006_125027.jpg](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/IMG_20111006_125027.jpg) ---

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. ---

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. ---
