We had to know: How did Jake get tattooed on the ZR1's intake snorkel? Turns out it was none other than Tom Wallace, Corvette's Chief Engineer, who gave it the go-ahead . The story told to us was that when he saw the crossed flags on the ZR1's supercharger along with the conventionally placed ones on the nose and the intake snorkel he balked at the 3x arrangement. His solution? Honor the ZR1 connection to its racing roots and replace one set of flags with the embossed Corvette Racing skull.

So a very cool discovery awaits owners of the baddest street Corvette ever when they pop that hood!
... and we thought the howl under the hood was the supercharger. It's Jake doing his 650 HP acappella!
