Silver Corvette ZR-1 spotted on Marine Drive

You're right, pawan. I remember reading about that in Road & Track magazine. It was the last 'Vette under development which had the blessings of Zora Arkus Dunktov. Unfortunately, big ole displacement won, & the TC V6 went for a toss...

this is not the green one painted silver is it?

Cyrus43 · 10th August 2008, 01:13

Nope, this has always been silver. This car has been in mumbai since the early 90s and i have been in it!!!

Doesn't the green one belong to the same person who raced the Viper in the last SR? That's a convertible though.

speedy · 10th August 2008, 11:59

straight6 the green one is not a convertible it is a hardtop or a t top if i remember right. it is owned by Hema bhai and yes he did race the viper.

@ Cyrus are you sure it is not Hema bhai's car painted silver according to my knowlegde there was only one zr1 brought in. the picture seems to be taken in the theatre compound.

Hema bhai? I thought its Himanshu Gondal. Seems to like only American muscle as he had a Camaro that he sold sometime back.

It's entirely possible that the silver 'vette spotted by GTO (that started this post) is really a ZR-1, BUT I have to say that square tail lamps were not the sole preserve of the ZR-1.

Regular garden variety 'vettes ('91 model year onwards) had square tail lamps too.

Also, the image posted by Cyrus43 above, could be a regular 'vette too ... and I say this only because of the absence of the high-mounted stop lamp (only ZR-1 had those) and the lack of a ZR-1 badge on the right hand side of the rear bumper.

Yup the pic that Cyrus has posted doesn't look like a C4 ZR1 to me. Speaking of ZR1s though, what about the new C6 ZR1 huh? What a car!!!

Same Silver Corvette spotted on Marine Drive last Sunday albeit in a ruined state and shape with stupid advertisement stickers all over. What's with advertising using supercars in India?

shamik.bose · 25th March 2010, 21:04

NIce pics of a very nice and rare car. Nice work, moralfibre.
