They had me sold on the Racing stripes. At least offer a new kit or somrthing and ditch the quick stickers. But Then I guess it goess well with the cheaper plastic body panels that covertte's are know for, exluding the ZR1.

Here we go again. The exterior panels of the Corvette are fiber glass, not plastic...and if it's the interior you're referring to, its virtually the same on the ZR-1 as the standard Vette just depends if you opt. for the leather dash or not. I personally don't care if you don't like the Vette, but if you're gonna talk smack, at least know what you're talking about.

I know the original vette's were all fiberglass, and they were the original pusher of the technology. Have they ever been made with anything but? I could see some of the uglier early 90's maybe, but I wouldn't put my money on that.

Maybe the doors, quarter panels, and hood. The rest is pure plastic, rear bumper, front bumper, underskirts, mirrors.

Yeah, and the wheels are made out of metal, and the windows of glass...which production cars today, with the exception of a small minority don't have plastic, bumpers, side-skirts, and mirrors?

This is great, its good to have a factory track prepped version of their sports car. Its a great start for any guy who wants to start racing.
