corvette ZR1...A real car, a drivers car. I love it

[VIP Style]

man I love these new ZR1's, especially with the cyber gray paint, it goes well with the carbon fiber.

[On_Her_Face]

I almost got that color in my C6 but they did not have it in a 6 speed so I got red.

Zr1s are amazing cars though.

[Schroeder]

I love everything about them except for the hood.

What's wrong with the hood?

I just don't like the See-through style hood insert. Doesn't seem fitting for the car. I know Ferrari and other Super Car Manu's do it, but IMO it doesn't fit on the ZR-1.

[Nemesis]

Absolutely awesome, I love that car, but id rather build up a C6 Z06 for the money!

[VIP Style]

I saw a c6 with that cyber gray on it, looks very good in person.

Yeah I guess I can see that, my favorite exterior panels are the CF Halo and top :)

Love the cyber gray, would love the wheels if they weren't polished, and really don't care for exhibition hood insert. Overall, it's an amazing car.:goodjob:

I would still give both my nuts to have one though.

Hahaha yes they are sweet rides. Best bang for the buck out there, well that is just my opinion.

#1 Fav car of all time is a 65-66 GT350 and no I wouldn't give up my dick for one. Even though I don't use it as much as I used to since I broke my hand. :D

The lip needs to be solid black, but other than that, it looks nice.

[speedminded]

The seats look unbelievably cheap.

[On_Her_Face]

It ain't no Ferrari.

[Drummerboy]

whats the price for a ZR1?

[On_Her_Face]

110k they can be more with other options.

yeah I think its retarded. its just showing a piece of plastic OVER the engine, not the engine itself. I mean come on.

so nice.

[Nemesis]

Who buys a ZR1 because of how nice the seats look :lmao:

[speedminded]

Who buys a ZR1 because of how nice the seats look :lmao:At over $110k it sure as hell better have better seats than a $30k VW. If they cheaped out on that was else did they do you don't know about?

its a corvette, you dont pay for the seats, you pay for the performance.

you can go look at the acr viper, and check out the dodge neon center console..

[Don Luis]

these things are very nice, they are not like a ferrari but for the price they are sweet. and they go for $118k and you cant get one for under $140k when they first came out they were going for $170k. I have driven a few of them atwork and they are fun

the vette has always been a performer, so the seats and interior wasnt really a big deal when it comes down to it. Its not an excuse, but american cars always will come in last in the intrerior department. Like i said the viper has neon radio controls, knobs and buttons.

lol I didnt think my WRXs interior was that amazing....for being an import and all. Both domestic and imports can share the same lack luster qualitys. If I wanted a luxury interior I would have bought a luxury car. :shrug:




Its like going out and buying a steak. Sometimes going out to Longhorn is just as satisfying as going to Ruth Chris' when you just want some damn meat!!!

The dash could be made out of lego's and it still won't effect the performance or comfort of the car.

But then again we are Americans and apparently the least evolved on earth, could be a milk crate to sit on as long as it has a V8 with over 600hp.

So you're saying if it isnt a Lambo, Ferrari, Aston, or some other high end branded car, its total shit? Judging a car simply by its...seats...is kind of elitist.

Now I haven't owned one of those cars myself either, and you probably havent as well, but why on earth would you hate on a ZR1 so much just because of one simple shortcoming? While the price point of the ZR1 is a bit high, that aside, its an amazing machine. I think thats all they are saying.

You're right but this is...

Any car with shitty seats is not a drivers car, period. A performance car should be built around the driver. These aren't 1960's automobiles. It's a high-performance car they are selling for over $110,000 so why does it have seats in it that probably cost them $300 to manufacturer? If they aren't capable of building something appealing and comfortable to a human then why not contract another company to do it? If Volkswagen can do it with a $30k car then why can they not with a $110k car?

I bet Recaro would outfit them with custom Sportster CS's for under $2k.

Instead of these things that look like they came out of a conversion van, and feel the same:

This debate isn't about looks, it's about creating a performance car for a driver.

[On_Her_Face]

I don't find the seats that bad and I sit in them every day, to each is their own though.

This debate isn't about looks, it's about creating a performance car for a driver.The did this so Billy Jo Bob Jr. would be able to fit his 400lb ass in the car of his dreams. Most cars sold in the U.S. are built around obese people.

*edit*
Waitttttt a minute. Are the ZR1 seats the same as the C5 and C6 Corvette?!!!!

[On_Her_Face]

I've slept in my old Corvette twice. It's not meant for that in any shape or form. I actually laid in the trunk and had my feet going up to the dash in between the seats.

It was drizzling rain and I ended up rolling myself up in a tarp outside and sleeping in it like a burrito. I was at a race track last minute in the middle of the week without a tent waiting for the team to get there. Sucked lol!

Haha that was probably better than staying in the Corvette. I was drunker than shit and got locked out of a friends house and my phone was dead. Fail.

Not a big fan of the ZR1's
