Exclamation Wicked! 17 bad ass yellow ZR1/SS pics!

The story:

"I am a member of digital corvettes, I was recently at the Laguna Seca race and have a story to tell. I was standing in the pits watching the vettes when the crew chief for the #3 car came up to me. I congratulated him on the pit challenge win that the #3 car won that day. He said thanks then said “ Go over to our trailers right now. The blue devil is going out for a few laps”

I rushed right over and sure enough, Johnny O got in the car and drove off. Did two laps. Looked great, fast and sounded awesome. Here are my pics. Just trying to “pay back” to the community and say thanks for all the info I’ve received from digital corvettes."

None, I do have a $36,000 college tuition though.



You can barely make out that Porsche-- Also, does anyone else notice how FAT those front tires are?!?!?!

Its covered by tape. In some other pics with the hood open you can see the clear chunk.

Must be awesome to have the corvette racing crew chief tell you about the ZR1 about to make some laps. I think after picking myself up from my knees buckling, i would have sprinted to the scene in disbelief. Great pics, and thank you for sharing them.

'53 vert, '57 vert, '68 stingray, '96 coupe, '97 vert, '05 coupe.....all diecasts.

are we absolutey sure this is THE car, and not some variation of it?

my point is would GM really put the actual final ZR-1 in the exact form it will be when it's available to buy out on a public track like that where they know people are going to photo/video it when it's still not been oficially unveiled?

at the very least, it's a great indication of what the car will be....and it's much more than we've seen to this point, but I'm not going to flip over any photos until it has truly been officially unveiled.

My thoughts exactly. In the other post on this, someone proposed that this was in order to make a video for the unveiling. They could've done the video at the proving grounds on their new mini-nurburgring and without all the gift-wrapping. Why would they do this if it's the real thing?

Yes that's it. The whole thing was a controlled PR event by GM. They wanted everyone to see it.
