2011 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 3ZR 6-Speed
Overview
The accompanying service records reflect careful, professional stewardship and notably low mileage. Maintenance and repairs were carried out by authorized Chevrolet dealers and respected performance specialists, including Exotic Motors Midwest, Hendrick Chevrolet, KC Trends Motorsports, and Chicane Motorsport. Documented work includes a dealer-performed fuel pump module replacement, comprehensive fluid services for the engine, transmission, differential, cooling, and braking systems, new spark plugs and coil packs, battery replacement, and a documented cylinder leak-down inspection. More recently, the car received new Michelin Pilot Super Sport ZP tires, fresh TPMS sensors, and a four-wheel alignment performed specifically for the ZR1’s FE5 suspension configuration.
Select enhancements have been made with restraint and attention to quality, most notably a professionally installed valved exhaust system that allows the driver to alternate between subdued and aggressive exhaust character via remote controls. With its rare specification, extensive documentation, and preservation-focused ownership history, this ZR1 stands as a compelling opportunity to acquire a well-kept example of Chevrolet’s most advanced production car of its generation.
