That guy driving it doesnt look too happy, lucky bastard gets to drive the corvette and he looks bored

bows before hoes. is that jr. i see?

my redneck eyes must be failin me looks like jeff gordon, maybe he doesn't like the masculine grey?

I think he's supposed to look bored/cool. How about some audio??

as a closeted dragon i would tap that ass. the car.

OK, if no audio, then at least pics of the driver stomping on it and blowing hoes and hacks and bystanders back into the band and then into the curtains.

...still looks like a regular Vette from this view, except for the fat, back meats and fenders of course.

Too bad they couldn't find some wider rear tires. OMG

Nice, but nothing unexpected. No wonder the driver looks somewhat bored. No danger here, nothing earth-shattering.

quote of the night from the 'style' event from Mr Kid Rock:

"In Detroit, we don't buy shit - we make shit"
couldn't have put it better myself.

Also, I don't think I have ever felt quite so British as I did tonight.

(OMG, Kid Rock is SO WRONG for this.)

The rear view is fascinating--not just an exhaust, but a veritable exhaust pipe array.

Yawn. Nothing earth shattering here. Although an atomic bomb disguised a sports cars is nothing sneeze at.

Apologies for the Clarkson for borrowing his test drive of a much more powerful thermonuclear weapon.

The new Corvette Z06: The official supercar of whores and rednecks...

Somehow I don't see Ferrari launching the next F4-- the same way

come on guys! by almost ten at night i figured you would have grabbed my interest w/something interesting... instead of a few pics that weren't that great.. and no commentary to boot.

me thinks i should have driven the six hrs. up to detroit myself and commented aloud and hoped one of you paid (lucky) bastards were around to hear it..............

i'm somewhat disappointed.. but will continue to check the site throughout the night! (and from here to eternity.. b/c the staff and commenters here rule the carblog world... as far as i'm concerned)

That car looks like it just ate a baby. and got my girlfriend pregnant. and I just can't stop staring.

Needs 8% more rear tire?

Metal? Fiberglass, maybe, but not the best looking Corvette ever made...

Having a severe aversion to flash in automobiles, but truly enjoying a Q-ship, this ZR1 works for me...if I could convince myself it's not too flashy.

I like vehicles like the 300C SRT-8 and the Grand Cherokee version housing the same engine, albeit with a hard-core AWD setup.

@simpsons-movie-ruled: Well if you got your hands on a ZR-1 and your boss says that you can only go in a straight line at 2 miles an hour, you'd be pissed too.

Me, I'd be like whatever, then do sweet donuts on stage before jumping it off something, then the chicks jump in and we're like peace out fools.

Actually, no, I'd just drive it in a straight line at 2 miles an hour. Then I'd go home alone.

Is that Jeff Gordon driving the Vette?

the driver appears to have a mustache... if it is jeff gordon, and he's brought back the 'stache and the mullet, i'm not even goung to watch this season. he'll win everything...

Stop shaking your ass in my face, ma'am! I'm trying to see the show!

@Aaron Martin-Colby: Yes, it was.

@way_down_east: metal- slash, fiberglass- scratch, more like carbon.

They should've let the chick in the shifter t-shirt drive it in.

@Fitty7lax: I lol'ed and I appreciate it cuz i've been having a S***ty week

@parramore46: Now we're talking!

yeah coz im Kid Rockin up and down the street
I gots some trim with some gold teef
anyways I think the Nuge was out of town making jerky and hunting stuff so they got the Kid instead.....

nice car BTW

Kid Rock is a good addition.

What would have been cool. would be a clutch drop and a hold steady at 5k RPM

and I ask myself....
why should dragons have all the fun?

@feds:Let's see Ferrari release a car for anywhere near twice the price of the ZR1 that even comes close in performance. Different leagues, yes. Different objectives, no. Rightfully so, the ZR1 shut a lot of people up.

i am seeing a lot more camber in the front wheels on the ZR1 than the Z06, from these pictures and definitely from the track day video from a couple posts back.

The ZR1 must be so hot, it made the girl in the red t-shirt forget the whereabouts of her pants.

@Novaload: I couldn't disagree more, nobody seems more appropriate than Kid Rock for this car. Loud, over-the-top, brashly American, and leaving track marks everywhere it goes.

The current corvette is the opposite of all the vettes I admired growing up. It delivers the power now but not the looks.

Other than the silly Hot Wheels® window on the hood, my only complaint is that I can't have one.

It's a performance miracle for the money, but it doesn't matter what way you slice it, it's still a Corvette. Also, what's with the grey? Are they trying to beat the Germans at their own game? What about those blue brake calipers? Are we getting a Vauxhall VXR-badged version on this side of the pond?

I weep for TVR.

That car should totally have square taillights, just like the '90. (And unlike the last time around, the square lights shouldn't show up on the rest of the Vette line a year later.)

Looks good in that gray/black paint scheme.

@Maymar: Now, THAT is a hallmark of quality engineering.

This is the second article I've read with the word "bereft" in it. Is this the new hot word at Jalop? Don't worry, Jalop is certainly not bereft of great automotive coverage.

I am not an American muscle fan ususally , preferring euro sport - but that car is just BAD ASS. I'd give up my m3 for it.
