Default Ran A ZR1!!!!

So i was on my way back from the savi ranch meet and i was on the phone talking to my cousin. Then i see what looks like a Z06 in my rear view, i was like hey ill call you back. So i slow up and then see the blue ZR1 on the side i was like OMG!! Its the first ZR1 ive seen in person or even just driving around.
So i give him the thumbs up and try to snap some pics when he just hammers it and does a sick fly by!! That Vette sounded sick! I assume it was bone stock because it had paper plates on it still.. So i drop it to about 3rd at about 65 and line up next to him and honk it off and hammer it..He didnt go, but we lined up again and he was ready this time..So i honk it off again and we start mashing out, i had about half a car on him at the end of third where we both let off due to traffic...The ZR1 was sick as hell though!

Eh I don't buy that he was 100% in it. Shane, Grey03Cobra was pushing well north of 600rwhp with his whippled Cobra (before the turbo) and lost to a pretty much stock Z06 a good while back while he was still living in Vegas. So I'm guessing he was just playing around or just not in the lowest gear he could've been in. Either way, congrats on finally spotting one. I've been to lazy to get up and go to Coffee and Cars lately so I've yet to see one in person.

Bone stock

Not stock

I would say they make some pretty good power.
Nice kill Angel!

I wanna see a ZR1. I wish I could have ran you last time we were cruising, although it sounds like your car is pretty stout.
