GM has given Corvette fans a taste of the Corvette Blue Devil, now believed to be named the ZR1. Several Corvette fans was at the Laguna Seca that day and manged to get some pics of the car making 2 laps around the track. The car was unloaded from the Corvette Racing Team trailer and Johnny O’Connell was the driver that got to take this impressive car for a blast around the track. By all accounts the Corvette sounds spectacular! While we don’t have any video with sound, we do have a clip that has music set to it.
If you wish to see some still shots of the ZR1 Corvette at Laguna Seca, they can be found at www.digitalcorvettes.com
The spoiler on the rear is very similar to the Ron Fellows Edition, however it does look taller. The wheels have a definate resemblance to the actual race wheels used on the C6R Corvettes at one time. It is difficult to tell in the photos but the tires look much wider, especially in the front.
While this test car may not reflect the ultimate ZR1 Corvette that will be displayed at the Detroit Auto Show this coming January, it is certainly exciting for those of us that have been waiting for more information. We are all eagerly awaiting this beast to hit the showrooms!
