Spotted, and photographed poorly: C7 ZR1 in Medicine Hat

[SKR]

If this picture is giant, I'm sorry. I've been trying to resize it but it gets all jaggedy and weird. Anyway, I saw this ZR1 sitting outside the Co-op in Medicine Hat. It looks like a normal Corvette until you get to that giant wing, which either looks as awesome or awful in real life as you'd think. I like it but not everyone does. I don't much care for orange or convertibles but it's still cool to see one in person. I wanted to wait around to hear it running, but I just bought fudgecicles and I didn't want them to melt so I went home.

didn't know they made a 'vert ZR-1. I didn't think there was a corvette out there I didn't like, but I really don't know about that one. Could have a damn nice 911S for the 150 grand too.

cool pic though, thanks for sharing.

I hate convertibles but that is so damn nice...

Hrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggfffffffffffffffff

I don't understand the park job though, isn't he worried about a huge ass vehicle parking right next to it? We're talking about medicine hat here too lol.. you can tell in the pic there's already a vehicle next to the empty spot..

Sweet! I love the new Vette, even Calgary, not many ZR1, and probably more coupe and not many convertible! I guess more rare in Med Hat.

Great value for ~ $180k, half price Lambo!

For the parking job, I won't blame the owner, you see some trucks take 2,even 4 spots!

I also saw one, Davenports car to be specific.

Yeah, but he's BARELY over the line. That's just an invitation for some dick to park beside him. If you're gonna take two spots, fully take them.

I think a black one would look really good. I think just about every car looks best in black though, so I'm biased.

I wonder where they're buying these? I assume it's like every other special vehicle where dealers can only get so many, and I'd be surprised if Murray got one, let alone two.

Sigh, just yesterday, I was in a quite empty parking lot, I parked very close to the line one side (and more space from the other side) .. so I would think no one would parked next to me (the close side) so prevent door dent etc ... but sadly, a mini Van (old old ..) parked right next to me, while there are lots of empty spot ... go figure!

You can tell by the tire marks he obviously slid into that spot from 100mph give him a break he pretty much nailed it

Murray wouldn't need to get them in if they ordered them though would they? If you have cash up front and put in the order I am sure any dealership would. That being said when I was younger a ton of my parents friends would just buy their vehicles in Lethbridge or Calgary instead of dealing with people in the hat so maybe they did that

Dealerships are usually allocated a certain number of limited-run vehicles. If Murray was only allocated 2 ZR1s (for example), that's the maximum they can bring in for the model year, regardless of how many people show up to order.

The dealer can order as many as they want, but GM doesn't have to give them any. I remember the dealer in Swift Current got a C7 Z06, and they said they had to buy it used because GM wouldn't let them order one. On the other hand, I got my ZL1 in Swift Current and they got it because one was built that no one ordered. They put in an order for one, and they got one. So maybe that's what happened here. Or they got them from out of town somewhere.

Up until yesterday I didn't know ZR1s were out yet. That's why I was surprised to see one, and then hear about another, in a city of 60,000 people. That made me wonder how they got here.

Doesnt Murray have a bunch of dealerships? Based on their overall size, Id assume they can get a few cars regardless of delivery destination.

i chased an orange one down around San Diego in May

[Maxt]

I've seen some around already in my travels, more than I thought I would... And if I had a dollar for every Long beach metallic red tint coat ZR1 on the roads locally....

[C4S]

Somehow ... somehow, most of the ZR1 I have seen are Orange (or yellow) ... even when C7 Z06 first came out, most are Orange ...

I guess when people buying a new cool car, they want other people to notice!

[SKR]

Good deal, only $225,000.
