It is on Jan. 18 that the car in question—a 2016 model year Corvette C7.R Special Edition—will be sold. Chevrolet sold only 570 of the edition, which was built on the Corvette Z06 platform by adding the Z07 Performance Package and 3LZ Preferred Package. Being based on the Z06, Gordon’s C7.R is drowning in performance capabilities. It’s 6.2-liter LT4 V-8 spits 650 horsepower through an eight-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels, which are nannied by wide Michelin Pilot Sport rubber and a traction control system. General Motors’ magnetic ride control is fitted, as are carbon body panels, and near-endless sporting and comforting sundries, as outlined in the car’s listing.
