Well if everyone's weather is some variation of what we've been having in Austin these last couple of weeks - cold, fog, light rain - I can understand why folks are happy staying inside. My only consolation was talking to someone in Toronto last week where it was -14 at 7pm. That makes our weather seem like paradise! John

This car is in great shape, very clean. Hi John been some time since I have seen you and the Mrs. I hope you both are well, good luck with the sale. I need to come to Austin so we can do lunch sometime. GLWS someone will get a gem.

I'm not getting anxious but I am puzzled whether folks are getting the message about this car. As posts from folks who know the car have said, this is an exceptional driver's ZR-1 and I want to detail why that's the case.
This car a list of pluses as long as one's arm including:
Late model ZR-1 Wheels
Drilled Rotors/Hawk HPS Pads/Stainless Steel Brake Lines
Solid 32mm front Sway Bar
4:10 Rear Axle/ Dana Viper Gears/electronically corrected speedo
Corsa Stainless Exhaust
Hurst Short Shifter
Bill Boudreau's drive line reinforcement plates ("C-Beam" plates)
Ported Intake top end
K&N Open Element Air Filter
Repainted Top End and Valve Covers/Stainless Bolts
Xenon Driving Lights
Custom tuned computer chip (passed CA emissions with this chip)
New Battery
Conservatively Estimated at 430+ hp
Plus the previous owner repaired or replaced:
All 4 wheel bearing hubs
New radiator
New coolant hoses
New thermostat
New fuel injectors / fuel filter
New fuel pumps
New Secondary hoses
New PCV hoses
New Coils
New Ignition Wires
New engine mounts
All new universal joints / on drive shaft and half shafts
Repaired both seat transmissions
New Urethane Rear suspension bushings (all)
Repaired airbag sensor mounts
New current CA smog cert.
All 4 speaker amps
Both headlight motors rebuilt
I had the Bose rebuilt by Doctor Don's (including upgrading the CD mechanism) and replaced the oil pressure switch. And I have the 1990 2-part Service Manual, 60-page ZR-1 Service Manual Supplement and a car cover.
