I hope that make at least a little sense.

On the ZR1...
Regular production ZR1s start with vin 800001
The first one is Cyber Gray 1G1YR26R895800001 (owned by Jay Leno)
GM used a different 900000 vin sequence for Mr Ressler's BD1 car, it's 1G1YR26R495900001.
Currently the production sequence for CTF cars has began with a 0. I'm guessing that they'll make production cars start with a 1. So the first VIN will likely be 2G1FK1EW9A9100001 (a discussion of VINs can be found
here). Who knows if they'll do something like the ZR1 with Hendrick's car and give him a different VIN series than anyone else.
