Love my torch red 2010 C6 ZR1. It's truly been a joy to own and drive. I still have to pinch myself from time to time.

I have a 2013 nite race blue Grand Sport. At a traffic light in Greensboro N.C. looked to my right and there sat a N.R. blue ZR1. I was blown away. Only a true enthusiast could appreciate that rarity.

I also have a NRBGS 2013, and I have never seen another in person in that color including C7s.

Bought my '09 JSB ZR1 in Jan. of 2020 for $59k.........I could not have bought it any better, it would probably bring $80k+ today. The car was concours level quality with only 7.5k on the clock, and absolutely gorgeous. I bought it to enjoy, and now after 4 years, it has 23k on the odometer, and I could not be happier with the car. I love all of the idiosyncrasies of the car of which it has many many more high performance and race heritage parts than even the video went into. I have had several fellow club members who drive C7 Z06s and have looked for bragging rights against my ZR1, which on paper they should have, only for them to go home with their tails tucked between their legs........my '09 JSB ZR1 and my '90 Quasar Blue ZR-1 keep each other company very well in the garage!

When I first saw a Zr1 I thought, what the $%&k? Then I did some research and realized what it was. I was blown away that Corvette was at that level of performance. But then again wasn't the C4 Zr1 also a world class performance car for its time?

Great video! I’ve always wanted a C6 Zr1, finally bought one this past August! “09” 16k miles…this one is staying in the family…nothing quite like it…I’ve owned Mustangs, Camaro, Challenger, Vettes just have a special unique feel to them…and unless you’ve owned one it’s hard to explain…aside from the obvious reasons..😎👍

Hads a 13 GS my first Corvette since 73. The ZR1 was a dream car and that dream came true in 2022 I purchased a 2011 with 5000 miles it's an AMASING car Hope to keep it in the family forever.

I had the c4 zr1 before brilliant car, but not the same animal. All you guys out there if you like adrenaline, you have to try one. Sorry not planning on selling mine.

Trivia: I dont know the exact years, but Fuel Injection was first time on a C1, so i would say 1958. And Carburator was last time on a C3, so i would say 1979 or 1980 because after that came the CFi.

C6 ZR and C6 Grand sport coupes are the real picks. Other collector cars C5 z06 in original condition and C7 ZR1. Low numbers or just good performance cars. The. C5Z is fun fast and simple. Same on the GS c6 coupe.

@csvette 5 ай бұрын

That is incorrect. According to GM: The Corvette Z06's capability is rooted in its LT4 supercharged 6.2L V-8 engine with direct injection, Active Fuel Management™ (cylinder deactivation) and continually variable valve control. Only the ZR-1 didn't have it. Lyle
