The forthcoming Corvette ZR1 will be a turbocharged monstrosity built in Bowling Green that will undoubtedly be one of the fastest cars on the planet when it drops later this year, with 1064hp on tap right off the showroom floor.

I can't even imagine what it'll be like. I'm 9 days away...not that I'm counting... from being able to flog the Z06 and am chomping at the bit. I can dream of the ZR1

I do wish they had a true copper wheel color for the purple and that they made a white seat option and not the off gray to go with the purple. I want a 80's Lambo color combo so bad.

Copper would look way cool with the purple.
I sat in a Corvette last week at the Chicago Auto Show and my head stuck up outside the car.
Not a car for tall guys?

I want something like this. But again with the gold or bronze wheels. I cannot do it with the custom config and I think the light silver leather is now the replacement for the white for the Zr1 and Z06/7
Z07's are touching 125-130K in the convertibles with minimal miles and I really want to pull the trigger but the Blackwing search is still gong on and the money will go to that.

The C8 Purple is not purple its dark blue. Booo. Looked at a Z06 Vert as a possible purchase if I cannot find anyhting else I like. Amazing color but not purple.
