[Official] C7 Corvette Thread

He's the 2nd owner (the first was auctioned off for charity), but this one was a manufacturer's test model.

He's also a member of this corvette car club.

I was just treated with a tour of a Red 2009 ZR1 with $24,000 worth of leather interior work including red stiching like a Ferrari. Apparently the carbon fiber seats are uncomfortable. He also had an exhaust for $3,200 plus a carbon fiber rear splitter. It sounded wonderful.

He said they stopped making ZR1's (LS9) for some reason. Then why make the Camaro ZL1? I thought it had the same engine.

ZL1 has a LSA, motor from a CTS-V.

They didn't stop making the LS9 ZR1, the 2013 model is available now. And the ZL1 has the LSA engine, same as a CTS-V.
