Isn't Joe Flacco the only one with a 2014 Corvette?

He's the 2nd owner (the first was auctioned off for charity), but this one was a manufacturer's test model.

He's also a member of this corvette car club.

I was just treated with a tour of a Red 2009 ZR1 with $24,000 worth of leather interior work including red stiching like a Ferrari. Apparently the carbon fiber seats are uncomfortable. He also had an exhaust for $3,200 plus a carbon fiber rear splitter. It sounded wonderful.

He said they stopped making ZR1's (LS9) for some reason. Then why make the Camaro ZL1? I thought it had the same engine.

ZL1 has a LSA, motor from a CTS-V.

They didn't stop making the LS9 ZR1, the 2013 model is available now. And the ZL1 has the LSA engine, same as a CTS-V.

I know I may be in the minority here, but I'm excited that they're releasing it in green.

While I also would prefer a lighter shade, I really want a green Vette. If the Z was offered in green, I would have bought that.

the C4 and C5 were serious disappointments to me. I preferred classic vettes. By 2008, the corvette regnited my old flame for vette. 2010 made me a undercover fanboy.

The C7.... It's just going to be a sick performer. The looks to me are ok, But aesthetically and on paper, the car is sick.
