What crawled up your ass? I just asked where you were? I didn’t say “OMG He didn’t get one what a fool”

Wow, people are sensitive. Jeesus.

I hope you get one, I can understand changing priorities… just hadn’t seen you around in a while.

R8 without a question.

I wouldn’t mind owning a ZR1, but there are lots of things I’d buy before it. Having the “ultimate” #s car isn’t really that important to me. All of these cars will out perform most of the drivers out there, and most of the performance can be had for a fraction of the price.

Need to have more than just a big boner in your sweatpants to spend my imaginary $100k on :mamoru:

I was in Pompano Beach,Florida back in November and this one Chevy dealer had a Yellow ZR1, Base sticker was $106,000…acutal sticker price was $190,000. My jaw dropped to the floor.

Ya R8 is sweet but the base is more than the ZR1 I think isnt it?

I guess if you were gonna blow $100k on a car, you wouldn’t care if it was $100,000 or $110,000.

They will want over MSRP for the next 6 mos or so.They seem to be SELLING on Ebay for around $20-25K over sticker.Even if most dealers don’t want the hassle of selling on Ebay,Start throwing that kind of money at them and it will be listed even if the fees are a grand or two.

I got some pics of the blue one at Paddock. The black one is already gone but I have pics of that too. They sold 6 total.

I was able to get there for a quick visit just before they closed.

I’ll post pics in a bit. Awesome car. :tup:

I love the cobalt steering wheel, and all the plastic in the dash. Oh and the best part is when you close the door all the noise it makes! Great quality.

Bill from Paddock told me that they received 2 of their local delivery (out of 6) Corvette ZR1 🙂 I got to stop in just before they closed to check out the blue one that was still there.

Some shots were mine and some were from Paddock.

Some samples.

That’s not a ZR1. Thats a regular Vette. Black one was picked up by the owner already.
