Yes for those of us just wanting an MSRP priced ZR1 this is a non event. Yawn.
But for the GS lovers a chance to get a special car for a typical highly priced set of few unique features.
Reminds me of the Carbon 65 thing. Which many are still sitting in showrooms new waiting to be sold at a now marked down price.
I’m highly neutral on this one.

Good video showing the cars and by the guys who inspired them.
Too bad about the sound but it’s worth the watch.

Not impressed. Drivers series without competition seats? I ordered my GS "Bob" edition (without the special dash plaque) as I wanted it and didn't pay a premium for what someone else likes.

... with the terrible Daytona result it's likely a lost marketing lure at the bottom of the lake now ...
had a chat with 6 dealership reps this past couple of days (unrelated inquiry) and not one has interest
in having one on the salesroom floor ... would rather have 10 zr1's, implied one

I believe the "Bob" Edition is a one of one, we should get you that plaqueNot impressed. Drivers series without competition seats? I ordered my GS "Bob" edition (without the special dash plaque) as I wanted it and didn't pay a premium for what someone else likes.
Nothing exciting here IMO. These 'special edition' models are not really that special...
First time i see one of these advertized locally ....in McMurray. They probably want msrp for it. Shows as a "milner" on the center console plaque..

It’s a collection car from a very limited series. Not my cup of tea but for the guy who follows the racing series it will likely give them a thrill and be an attractive car.
Admittedly I slagged the “Carbon” editions that came out a while back as they are missing lots of carbon fibre where it absolutely should be. They have carbon fibre sitting along side carbon flash. Kind of lame as when you look at one, it’s glaring.
Anyway all these special edition cars are specifically attractive to a limited number of buyers and only come out in very limited numbers. So some day our kids will be chasing these things down eagerly like we are with a few cars from the generations.
We should re-think our negative BS on these cars as they will likely be worth more than ours someday.
Who am I to say being currently Vetteless but IMHO this edition is not a collector. What’s collectable and exclusive about it other than the center console plaque. I think everything else could be optioned in likely at less that the $5k usd package price. But to each their own it’s different.... I’d just hate answering the question for passengers......”whos this Milner”?
