Hero Edition Corvette ZR1


This 1 of 1 Corvette ZR1 has been created by GM solely to benefit the Kid's Wish Network. While there are no changes to the drivetrain that powers this special edition 'vette, it's not like you really needed any anyway.

What makes the Hero Edition unique from all the other ZR1's out there is mainly visual cues. There is a graphics package with red accents in lieu of the normal blue. Other special bits include "additional carbon fiber components."

You won't be able to order your own Hero car, however, as it is a prize destined for the Corvette Dream Giveaway. Joining this car will be a restored 1967 Corvette, also in tuxedo black, with red accents and a 427 sporting 390 horsepower.

There's no limit on how many $3 tickets you can buy if you want to win. Shelley Breiner, Exective Director for the Kids Wish Network, expects this lone drawing to fund its Hero of the Month program for at least an entire year.
