But it has leaf springs!!!!! 
Very cool! One little thing that I think GM should have put on all modern Corvettes, a valet mode that limits the engine to only 150hp. 150 ponies it more than enough to park a Corvette. I don't think I want my parking attendant to have the extra ~ 400hp the ZR1 has on tap.

Nice, congrats. Even now when I ruminate over a GT-R, a Z06 keeps popping up. Even with the "redneck" stereotype, Corvettes are an extraordinarily compelling ride (like someone pointed out, I've continued to buy, even with some of the issues [like mediocre seating, etc.])
I love the grey on the ZR-1 because I think it's works really well with the blue details (the calipers, stitching, etc.)
Now you need to drop it off at Caravaggios
Awesome, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Ludicrous! I cannot imagine having something with that kind of power/weight ratio.
Once it's broken in, we will require videos. Preferably not of you killing yourself immediately.

Congrats! In with Z06 hood swap/interior. Definitely an awesome car. I love the color.

Nice, but why'd you settle for the Cobalt SS's little sister?

Wow, congrats! When I saw the thread title, I assumed it was going to be a CTS-V. What made you upgrade? I thought you were having trouble rationalizing spending more $$$ for a performance car?
Just be sure it's fully insured when you take it to the track, or leave a lot in reserve - that's a big investment to risk @ an HPDE.
I rode shotgun in one @ H2R recently, and the performance was mind-blowing. You're a lucky dude.
