  • Hey Norman...

    Just curious, but can we take the pic in your sig to mean that you have decided to get yourself a ZR1 when they come out? If so, can I have your Z06?

    You be right Todd. I've had a deposit on one since I picked up the C6Z in late 05. However, the pic in my sig is not a ZR1. It is an artist rendering of the C7 Corvette. I'd take one of them over a ZR1 any day. It's just dead sexy. What do you think?

            I'd take one. But then again, I'd "settle" for a regular C5 with low miles.

              I miss the heck out of my ZR-1. I wouldn't mind getting a used one if it weren't for the hideous repairs of that twin cam motor. The starter on mine went out and thank god it was under warranty. The whole intake had to be removed just to get to the little beastie. Still.... it made a wicked howl at high rpm that the other vettes just couldn't replicate. The new one must be simply incredible.

                I rode in a 1990 ZR1 back in 1990 and it was something different than what I am used to. It hummed like an exotic italian car rather than a growl like an American V8. It didn't sound anything like my 2002. If I could pick a car to have as a show/weekend car out of all the Vettes I would probably find a 90-95 ZR1. As an every day car you can't beat a C5/C6 but for occasional use the ZR1 is something exotic.

                Let me know if i need to go look at http://www.buyavette.net/c710.html for anybody. It's only a couple of miles from the house and I drive by it every day on the way home.

                  Yeah man. My 95 had the hottest of the motors and the selective ride control was sweet.

                    The LT5 ZR1 is one, if not the sweetest sounding OEM engine I've ever heard.

                          When I had the intake leak fixed at a local dealer a couple of years back I wandered over to the showroom and they had a brand spanking new ZR-1 sitting there.

                          Yes they are sweet, remember reading about it in a magazine where the headline was something like take it to the track or send your grandma go shopping with it.
