    I'm saddened to see such relic leave the shop, but I'm excited to see just how badass a V3 can be at the hands of RPM. Bittersweet.....

    I saw a white ZR1 with the RPM sticker on it here in ft lauderdale! I literally stopped the guy and blabbered : the sticker the sticker :)) he said YUP that Fran’s Zr1 😍🤭🤯🤯🤯

    I’m going to miss that car too. Definitely my favorite ZR1! Love that color combo and all the mods you did made the car crazy fast.
    Ex one to the next one..
    Can’t wait till the V3 shows up.
