Default Finally got one!!

Brought home a 94 Black on Black ZR-1, #0198 tonight. All stock for now except Power Effects cat back, Haibeck chip, and rear shocks. Have to get the 22 year old tires off before I go playing around with it.

Great looking car and aren't the black ones the fastest?

You'll have that ZR-1 smile on your face every time you go for a ride.

Congratulations! Nice ride for sure. Back in 01 I had a 90 Z with Power Effects on it... I couldn't stop running up through 3rd gear at WOT because the music was that good!

Quick tire suggestion

Get the Mickey Thompson Street Comps. These are the best tires I've ever run, and they are cheap. I drove through all that junk that hit South LA so hard 2 weeks ago. Never once the the care hydroplane. These are the only street tires I'll run on the Z, #nevernittoagain!

They are 168 shipped for rears and 156 for the fronts

I absolutely love 3rd gear in my Z. It sounds great but it pulls like a steam locomotive with the boiler about to burst....... STRONG!
