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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    #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.

    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..

    And you wonder why GM is a failing pile of shit company that I said would go under when I was 10 years old. Performance isn't just 600hp.

    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!!!

    What's the point of a performance car if you're not held in place by the seats, regardless of how cheap the rest of the interior is? 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.
