2013 Chevrolet ZR-1 Corvette

The CT International Auto Show rolls into The Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford Friday, November 2^nd through Sunday , November 4^th, with hundreds of the year’s new vehicles. This week on AJ’s Car of the Day, I’ll be featuring some of the most heart pounding dream rides that you’ll be drooling over at the show. (I’ll be there Saturday, November 3^rd from 4 to 6pm. Stop by and say hello!)

60 years after the first Chevrolet Corvette was introduced to the public in late 1953, the 2013 ZR1 is the the ultimate Corvette. It features a 6.2L, supercharged V8 engine with 638 horsepower. A six speed manual transmission comes standard. Its ZR1 technology includes an aluminum frame with fixed-roof structure, carbon-fiber front fenders and visible carbon-fiber roof, roof bow, rocker extensions and front air splitter, and a carbon-fiber domed hood with a window to reveal the supercharged engine. The Chevrolet ZR1 Corvette also features Brembo^® carbon ceramic brakes, Magnetic Selective Ride Control™ and Performance Traction Management. Head Up Display comes standard and the ZR1.

ZR-1 20 spoke Silver painted Aluminum wheels on Michelin PS2 run flat tires are standard on the ZR-1 Corvette. OnStar, Dual zone automatic climate control, an AM/FM stereo with CD player and MP3 playback are standard features, as well as Xenon dual projector high intensity discharge lamps to illuminate where you're headed.

I would imagine that the 2013 Chevrolet ZR-1 Corvette will prove to be a popular attraction while on display at the 2102 CT International Auto Show . Be sure to check it out..save me a place on line and I'll meet you there!
