Default First ZR1's at Wendy's in BG, KY

If this was a repeat, sorry. This is apparently the first group of ZR1's that are heading to MI, that all stopped at Wendy's prior to their journey.

I'll take the blue please

Id imagine to see things like fuel economy etc. They have to be put in real time environments to get actual results.

Thats only a guess.. Im glad they were driven though! Thats pretty sweet!

Driving new ZR1s to Michigan. Wonder how you get that job? I'll work for cheap.

I still do not like the hood window. There are better hood options out there.

The more I see these the more I dislike the stock wheels. Just a little too busy for me. Also why the hell were they parking a $100,000+ car next to other cars in a freakin' fast food restaurant. I don't park my Z next to anyone...can't believe they trust the crowd at Wendy's to not door ding them!

My question is, why was there not a huge crowd of people gawking at them. F'in hillbillies didn't even realize what was right in front of them!

Cool

Remember two weeks ago I said that I saw the second and third ones being made?....

Well as mentioned #2 was yellow and #3 was red..... I saw the red one about 5 or 6 before it rolled off the line... and the yellow one was already completed and in a staging area just ahead of the roll-out before the final water tests...


And there they are in the daylight...

I probably missed this info somewhere, HOWEVER....

Why is it that regardless of the color of the car, the calipers, emblem and SC cover are still blue? Are there other options for that?

I believe it will be just the same as the C5Z. No matter what paint color you chose, the calipers, fuel rail colors where red regardless.

they say it's a tribute to the Blue from the Blue Devil, which it was code named when it was still RUMORED about the car. That's why they did it, or so i read somewhere
