The ZR1s I've seen in NC have also had a lot of orange peel, you would think a 100K+ vehicle, with all the hands on building of the car (like the new option to build a Z06 motor by a customer) that they would wet sand these cars to get rid of the peel.
Thats actually not alot of Orange peel. Take a picture of the side of your car and you will see the difference. Stock paint on the Fbodies had alot.

You're right, the stock F-Bodies had a lot of Orange Peel, but they weren't 100K

No worries, I just thought it was interesting.

Nice looking cars......but my god those rims are horrible. Terrible design.

They should have left the smaller 5 twin spokes off.
