Be careful if you mod it Chevy will take it back.

FAsnakes that's one bad ride! Do you get the A8 Automatic or 7 speed manual?
That is an interesting article but I wouldn't buy a car if I couldn't own it or do what ever I wanted to it.
Quite brazen, for a company that doesn't even own itself, to be telling people who basically bought the company from itself (U.S. Taxpayers), what to do with their cars. Chevy makes some cars that I really like, this being one of them. But the bailout didn't sit well with me. And stupid shit like this doesn't either.
Great looking car op. Can't wait to see what you do with it. And kudos, to actually driving the wheels off your zr1

Looks good OP, white is definitely the best color on the new vettes.
This.
Thanks guys,
Wanted something new., Additionally, i didn't want to have an out of warranty 100k mile ZR1 - on my hands (and that's where i was headed).
Thanks! picked up the 7 speed manual.

Nice! What are your impressions of the differences of the two thus far?
Awesome, car looks great. Can't say I'd take one over the ZR1, but it is what it is. 100k ZR1 would definitely sit well with me, haha. Congrats OP, can't wait to see what you do with this one.
Here's a couple early impressions::
Note: I put around 67k miles on the ZR and have just around 1600 miles on the Z06.
performance (acceleration):
The ZR1 is faster
creature comforts & tech:
Hands down goes to the Z06., I really like the added connectivity of the SD cards and multiple USB slots. The color HUD, front and rear cameras, nav traffic, weather, selectable driver modes, digital dash and PDR is cool.
Also, the cooled / heated seats, removable roof, borderless rearview mirror, d-bottom wheel, storage cubby behind the radio and LED everything - IMO are welcome additions
fit finish:
Z06 enough said....
I have the 3LZ leather & sueded microfiber inserts - it's just better
styling (subjective):
Z06, i like the refreshed styling. .
fuel economy:
it's pretty much the same between the two
ride and driver feel:
Z06, the steering is buttery smooth and the ride feels more ridgid / together.
Best color bud. I see a white one by me every so often and they are so aggressive in person. What are your plans for this one mod wise? Tune intake and cooling mods are really all they need.

I haven't been keeping up with this stuff but the old ZR1 is faster than the new Z06? I would have figured the Z06 would beat it. Now that I think about it, I can't even recall the numbers for both cars...hmmmm
Looks very good in white with dark wheels. Great color combo and great car!
So GM is using software licensing agreements as leverage over their customers? That's moree than enough reason to toss the shitpile right back to the dealership.
No performance mods planned in the near term - just enjoying it. . Who knows what down the line..
Yea, IMO the acceleration difference is marginal. But that ZR1 rolls the **** out up top.
Yea, the ZR was a solid ride - but I was ready for something new.
