    Hey Fellas,

    I was out in Detroit for a couple days, and man was it nice! I picked up my rental car at the airport and what do I drive next to? A F'N Corvette ZR-1. It was a Dark Grey, it was F'n sweet. Only thing I didn't care for was the wheels, not my cup of tea. Then about 15 miles down I run into the new F-150. Butt Ugly IMHO. And another couple miles...what looks to be the new Dodge Ram HD going up on a flat bed tow truck.....must be nice for you guys that live in the Motor City to see all these cars before they come out....

    BTW: I saw a shrouded, what I believed to be Camaro, in Downtown San Diego last week... but it was a ways ahead, pic impossible.

    Reports from VOI X said that they saw a bunch of (this incarnation of the) ZR1's driving around.

    Every single one had MANUFACTURERS plates on it.

    A bit of testing gear was seen all over this car.

    Don't pay any attention to this one since it is not a ZR1, but it is "Zoomy".:grin:

    Hey Snehal! :bye:

    And here is a nice ZR1 video.
