Hi everybody! This was the first car I drove for Cars & Bids a few weeks ago. It was soooooo fun, and I love talking about the history of Corvettes. I appreciate you all watching : ) Sorry if you notice any weirdness with the audio - this was our first time trying new mics, and it took some trial and error to get the settings right. We're all good to go now!

That was the most interesting thing about the review. Your comment got me remembering two old Top Gear episodes. The Mustang GT500 isn't legal in the EU either because of the front splitter and front "winglettes" for pedestrian crash standards. The late Sabine Schmitz also beat the Mach 1's claimed Nuremberg time in one round!

I am lucky to own a 7MT one of these. It is amazing. Brakes, ride and noise are 10 out of 10. Steering is a little artificial. She is about 300lbs too heavy for greatness. I wish the GM would have a GT3RS version of the ZR1 - light and stripped out. Even the optional competition seats are heated and ventilated. T6060 in my CT5 BW is definitely a better shifting trans than the 7SPD in the ZR1. But 7MT over the 8speed auto any day!! PS. The “things” that are holding the wing up are called the uprights, I am pretty sure.

Market demand isn't the only reason the ZR-1 was offered in an automatic. The C-7 ZR-1 was intended to be the pinnacle of the FR configuration, before changing over to the RR config. By the time of the C-7 ZR-1 was being completed, dual clutch automatics had faster shift times than (literally) humanly possible. So, for the Front engine Rear wheel drive config C-7 ZR-1 to be the pinnacle of that configuration, they would HAVE to offer the automatic, as automatics were the pinnacle of shifting technology.....
