Enough with the small dick comments...
Its the ZR1, the ultimate Corvette, and the ultimate performance matchine.
Its not some base C6 convertable that your diveroced neighbor drives, trying to pick up girls at starbucks with...

[1972LT1]

That 1 million got the buyer;
1.Custom paint that will only be on their car.
2.The serial # of 00001
3.A special ZR-1 jacket
4.A second hood signed by all involved in the design and building of the ZR-1
there were also pics and video of the making of the car. The winner will be the first one to start the car when it comes off the production line if they want. Delivery will be at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green,KY. Also,anything paid over the sticker price is a tax write-off.

that's all BJ shows on their list, it's posible if you dig through the pics that someone took while they were there you could find them but i haven't seen any

A friend of my dad's just told us that he's on "the list" at a Chevy Dealer near Easton PA. He's second on the list...after Mario Andretti :eek: and too bad they are making 3000 of them for 4500 chevy dealerships. There probably won't be enough allocated to his dealer to be able to get his hands on one.
