I haven’t driven anything that scares me more than that car. Its uncomfortable, loud, and a death trap. One of my customer cars.
I dont care if that thing had 50,000hp, thing is ugly AF, looks old and old in a bad way.

OP, i think the RS7 spoiled you in a bad way, now you feel like you're in a dated car when driving the ZR1.
What about an audi R8, if you have the funds to mod, I would get the regular v8 and add twin turbos.

It’s what happens when you have a VW bug for a donor car. I can promise you it’s an attention getter if there ever was one.
But I think the car it’s modeled after is one of the sexiest race cars ever made.

917K Kurzheck, German for short tail.
One of the few cars I’ll accept having black wheels on.


Pick your poison.

Its just too bad it looks nothing like the 917 haha. Ive seen one of those awful kits in person too, would not touch with a 10 foot pole. Also know a guy who raced a real 917 at lemans

Because it is dated. Sit in a C6 & then a C7. ;)

At 2:10..when he gets in the car...that would be enough reason for me not to buy it.

I'm not even 30 yet, and there's no way I'd want to climb in and out of that thing.

That’s part of the appeal to me. Won’t drive it much anyways.

It’s raw and uncomfortable. Like a night in Tijuana.

I still think you should go drive a Viper before dropping $50k on that thing.

I'd get one of those KTM X-Bows before a T-Rex.

A decision has been made and I couldn’t be happier. This dam thing is raw! Lol. Fast as hell too. I picked Miami blue for the color. Ha.

What did they give you for your ZR1, if you don't mind me asking.

Well I can say I know of someone who traded a ZR1 for a Trex. There is a motorcycle right next to the Trex in your garage! You kill me AOak.

Enjoy your purchase. I'm in for whats next.

Looks like it was built for one of those touring circus/fairs, you know, where you cringe at how janky and rushed the assembly of every ride was, but you do it anyways because **** the odds?
