So today at work we got in 4 2008 Corvette ZHZ's. Every one that stopped by and saw them thought they were some special edition high priced vettes. There just high priced. They're the new Hertz rental cars. Not the prettiest corvettes I've ever seen and I don't think they'll last too long once customers start renting them.

 

They have a custom front air dam that makes them look like they have braces, custom wheels that are hidious, a poorly done black stripe, and a spoiler similar to the Z06's.

 

My cell phone doesn't show enough detail to show the flaws so I didn't bother with a close-up of the black strip.

 

From a distance they look good but up close is where they lose the general Corvette sexyness.

Had to through this one in for comparison sake.

Must be why they put on those ugly ass wheels. Maybe when it's time to retail them, they'll popped back on the stock wheels.

Antwon, ready to rent one and spray the balls off of it ? haha.

 

 

They also look like they sit higher then the average vette..

 

Im sooo ready, Ill take the nitrous kit off my vette for a weekend of fun! :cool:

 

They prolly do sit higher just for the dumbass's that would crush the bumper up. Thats easily fixable with a jack and a 10mm... :D

There all Auto so far and I'm guessing they'll all be like that. I don't think Hertz even has any manuals in the entire fleet.

Going a step further, I'd imagine GM was nice and gave it a more mild shift profile to lengthen it's life at the hands of renters (those are electronically controled, right?).

 

Extra insurance: $80/day? :lol:
