Vehicle Description
2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
Carbon fibers or carbon fibers (alternatively CF, graphite fiber or
graphite fibre) are fibers about 5-10 micrometeres in diameter and
composed mostly of carbon atoms. Carbon fibers have several
advantages including high stiffness, high tensile strength, low
weight, high chemical resistance, high temperature tolerance and
low thermal expansion. These properties have made carbon fiber very
popular in aerospace, civil engineering, military, and motorsports,
along with other competition sports. However, they are relatively
expensive when compared with similar fibers, such as glass fibers
or plastic fibers.
As we say at Classic Auto Mall you never know what is coming
through the door next, and my friends this is a first. Certainly
not the first 2009 C-6 ZR1, but definitely the first car of any
model or make to come through the door complete with factory
packaging still on it! And even more amazingly a total of 12 (count
em on your fingers and toes) original miles. Someone had the
forethought to keep all that packaging on and not drive the car,
but to home from the dealership. Amazing to say the least. Can you
say restraint?
Exterior
The ZR1 is instantly recognizable, with perhaps the most
identifiable feature a raised, all-carbon-fiber hood that
incorporates a clear, polycarbonate window. The window provides a
view of the top of the engine's intercooler, with the legend "LS9
SUPERCHARGED" embossed on the left and right sides, and an engine
cover with the Corvette crossed flags logo embossed at the front.
The underside of the hood has an exposed carbon-fiber-weave.
Exposed carbon-fiber is used on the roof, roof bow, rocker molding
and front splitter. These exterior components are protected by a
specially developed glossy, UV-resistant clear coat that resists
yellowing and wear and are featured on this car in Cyber Gray.
Widened carbon-fiber front fenders with specific, dual lower vents,
and a full-width, body-color rear spoiler incorporating the center
high-mounted stop lamp, are also unique to the ZR1. All of the
exterior features of the car were developed to enhance high-speed
stability and driver control. Speaking of which polished chromed
aluminum 20 spoke wheels, 19 and 20 inches respectively, are
wrapped in 235/30ZR19's in front and 335/25ZR20's on the rear.
Through these wheels blue coated calipers are peeking outward.
Interior
The ZR1's interior builds on the brand's dual-cockpit heritage,
with high-quality materials, craftsmanship and functionality that
support the premium-quality experience promised by the car's
performance. The ZR1's cabin differs from the Corvette and Corvette
Z06 with the following: ZR1-logo sill plates, ZR1-logo headrest
embroidery, specific gauge cluster with "ZR1" logo on the
tachometer and a 220-mph (370 km/h) readout on the speedometer and
a boost gauge added to the instrument cluster and Heads-Up Display.
This up level interior package includes unique, power-adjustable
and leather-trimmed sport seats custom, leather-wrapped interior in
black, navigation system, Bluetooth connectivity and we are off to
the races! But will you remove the factory packaging? Will you open
the factory sealed sales packet, or even remove the laminated build
sheet?
Drivetrain
Peering through the clear hood rectangle, we can see the beginnings
of the Supercharger which is topping the hefty 6.2 Liter LS9 V8.
With electronic Fuel Injection and a 6-speed manual transmission,
and a 3.42 posi rear this car will produce 638 horse power at the
rear wheels.
Undercarriage
I'll sum it up for you, LIKE NEW! (because it is!)
Drive-Ability
We did not DARE!
As I said, 12 original miles, factory packaging, and lots of carbon
fiber and power. Will the new owner take off the packaging? Will
they even get in to drive it home? These and so many other benign
questions will be answered in the future of Classic Auto Mall. Drum
roll please, and no applause, just throw money.
