Default Corvette ZR1 (a.k.a Blue Devil, Z07 etc) shown at Laguna seca

Turns out that the rumors were true and the Corvette ZR1 was in attendance at Laguna Seca Raceway this evening. The Blue Devil, however, was wearing the same Velocity Yellow color as its racing brethren, as well as the familiar black coverings we've seen in so many spy photos that cover the most interesting parts......

hmmm...sounds like GM is doing what Lexus did with the IS-F...bring a bunch of people, have them snap photos, and post on blogs. the ZR1 is a bad *** car though.

So is the ZR1 different than the Blue Devil, the article is a little misleading. It says that the ZR1 was there but the Blue Devil was out on the track.

Anyway, it sounds like a base non-supercharged Corvette.
