Corvette ZR1 sighted at Laguna Seca

***NitrousG35*** · 10-20-2007, 11:54 AM

The Corvette ZR1, aka Blue Devil, aka Corvette SS, was seen at Laguna Seca on 10/19/07. The car, painted in Velocity Yellow livery, had its car cover taken off and it proceeded to take a few laps around Laguna Seca.

The bodywork looks fairly conservative other than the bulge in the hood. The motor is supercharged and is supposed to offer in excess of 650 hp.

Looks better than the concept, even if mostly similar to it. Nice.

The "paint Job" is actually the manufacturer's camouflage. Have you ever seen when Porsche, BMW and Mercedes test at the Nurburgring? They look like zebras and cubist art.

LOL Ken. Actually the camouflage is there to trick your eyes. Obviously the hood and front fenders have had mods done to them.

Some examples of automotive camouflage, especially while testing at the Nurburgring.
