the haters merely add gas to the fire, I love it. !!

Sounds awsome, as expected. But why,, why won't they put a decent seat in these high performance versions(ZO6/ZR1)? I just don't get that, and there is no good excuse. How many times has this issue been raised over the years?

[redhot916spd]

because everyones ass is quite different.

And a seat that is meant to take this car to the edge of it limits(1.0+g) is custom anyways. Anyone who wants to go really fast will have one custom fit for themselves if you do intend on racing it. Most however will enjoy garage duty on shitty days and at worst alot of saliva dripping on them

The plastic window to see plastic covers seems very tacky. The blue accents clash with any other color. I wish the design was more of a departure from the Z06.

Fun to see, but I'm not ready to part with my $110k.

From what I understand, the window isn't solely for looks; it's there to make that section of the hood thinner so it would fit over the engine without a bigger hood bulge.

The features of all the thermo polymers in 'plastic identification group 7' like polycarbonate are temperature resistance, impact resistance, and optical properties. I would bet that the rest of the hood is just as thin or thinner and this material was chosen just for the "optical properties".
