Got 4 of the Hertz rental vettes in today.

[Benner]

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.

How much a day?

Is the traction control button still there?

They removed it from the Mustang. So we just had to unbolt the center consol and find the harness before the nitrous instal. . . . . . .

God, those wheels are hidious!

[Benner]

Yeah traction control is still there along with the suspension adjustments. It's a normal corvette except for the additions of hideousness.

[brianswimmer23]

wow somone will rent it and beleive they have a CORVETTE! but its just hideous!!

[Nhra Firebird]

how much does it cost to rent one?

[BlueMagicSS]

oh wow.... that's just horrible....

[Benner]

The Hertz guy at the dealership I work for wasn't sure yet but he's guessing in the neighborhood of $120 to $150 a day plus mileage.

From the Hertz web site:

Rents for $240 per day......

[Benner]

LOL again that's the protective plastic. Also noticed after having it sitting right beside another C6 that it sits slightly higher.

[ls1camino]

Put a dry fogger nozzle in the air box on 150 and that is the true definition of a rental car. I don't care if it's a Cadi or Vette.

[blackbirdbrain89]

well if any one does points racing and your car is broke this might be a quick fix lol now how long till we see one of them on pinks all out?

[BIG GUNS]

Yeah, no shit. Doesn't matter how hideous it is. It will still do a classic F-body burn out.........lol.

with the other 'modifications' (jacked up suspension etc) i wonder if it is also 'special tuned'...maybe 'de-tuned'. whatcha think ls2tuner?

I would probably lean towards YES. I'm willing to beat their insurance company probably made sure that they limited the top speed at the very least.
