The more you learn about thes ZR-1s the more you will understand what a tremendous value they are for the money. If your a guy that likes to tweek em a bit then I suggest finding or waiting for a tastefully modded Z that appeals to you from an aesthetic perspective. That way you will always fall in live with it everytime you look at it! Condition is very important and milage plays a lesser role as these drivetrains are very durable when maintained properly.

As far as gas milage goes... I get about 22 smiles per gallon when commuting and about 8 mpg when averaging over 150 mph. Your milage will vary.
