No need to plough snow on that street then. Wonder if it's a corp tester gone missing for the weekend.

Dude owns a ZR1 ... Why ? I think he needs a Truck ... ya think?

That's the new ZR1 colour they haven't publicized yet...They're calling it 'Road Salt Grey'

Can't tell for sure but that car looks like it has winter tires on it. I can't even comprehend driving that car on the winter temperatures let alone on wet, slushy, salty streets.

If that this guy or gals winter beater...I wonder what the summer car is?

or

Is this a Photoshop masterpiece? I didn't think the car was available till at least may or June...

It was spotted in Toronto. It has to be a manufacturers sample possibly making its way to Oshawa or even Quebec for ice testing as GM has been known to do that. It wouldn't be a privately owned car. Perhaps we may even see this on the car show coming up.

It's definitely an OEM 'sample' but testing this late in the game? I guess it's possible.

It is actually a Honda Civic with one of the new Dare To Be Different composite conversion kits out of Kentucky. The wing was actually taller but the parking garage door lowered it.

Once again Murray, you are the source of my morning belly-laugh...

I don't like the camouflage paint job.

Out west we don’t get to see all this top secret car stuff.
I would have thought they would have trailered the car to a specific testing ground but on 2nd thought Toronto traffic after a winter storm would be as harsh a testing ground as any.
Have to wonder how much fun testing these cars would be in the winter. Lots I think. Pretty cool job if a guy could get it.

No pressure though.... sliding around traffic in a prototype ZR1.

Don’t crash.... don’t crash... don’t crash ringing in the ears.

Next pic... in the ditch along the 401?

I got this picture about a week ago from one of my dealer friends...I believe this is in the US not Toronto.

So... the plot thickens.

That would be very cool to see one in the flesh! I think I like the wheels better in silver than black. Man, someone has an awesome job out there.

I took that picture last week while vacationing on the beach in the Ukraine. They were sand testing and that's salt spray off the waves.....

Les , is there any chance of getting an allocation number for a new ZR1 that you know of ?

 

[AllFlash]

Hold on for a day or so... Great to hear from you Kaz. Weather up there seems to have made its way down. In Vegas for the week so a bit distracted....
