Hertz Adds a Special Corrvette to their Line up!!!
Limited to 500 Cars across the US
You've probably heard of the term, "Hertz Mustang" before. It refers to a special Mustang, officially known as the GT350H, which was developed by Shelby for the Hertz rental car company. The famous black and gold-striped Mustang made its return to the Hertz fleet celebrating its 40th anniversary back in 2006 as the star car in its Fun Collection. The following year, Hertz offered a convertible version of the very same car. For this year's fun collection, Hertz is kicking things up a notch. It will be offering a special rental version of the Chevrolet Corvette called the ZHZ. Ford Mustang Here's the GT-H, in case you didn't know what it looked like. (Photo: Shelby) ![]() The ZHZ builds on the standard Corvette, and includes the new LS3 V8 with a sport exhaust that bumps power up to 436 horsepower. Like just about every rental here in North America, the ZHZ's V8 is mated to an automatic transmission, although it does have the advantage of being paddle-shift actuated. Other cool features include a magnetic selective suspension and unique chrome-clad 18-inch front and 19-inch rear alloy wheels, as well as a special paint job that coats the fiberglass-bodied Corvette in Hertz Yellow paint with a pair of centrally mounted black stripes. Inside, the ZHZ has specific badging on the armrest as well as custom stitched floor mats, while a Hertz logo adorns the front fender. Hertz has commissioned General Motors to build 500 of the ZHZ models, and the first run of rental Corvettes will be exclusively available at major airports starting this month. Only 24 US cities will offer the Corvette ZHZ. ![]() Hertz adds more fun to rental collection with special Corvette - Sympatico / MSN Autos - Latest News

Nice, and fortunately the corvette auto trans does not suck like Ford's trans.
