Found my dream car and with the help of fellow member (kevakasper) took a drive to Iowa to trade my 2012 GS for it.

Baby steps for me learning to live with this kind of power. Looking forward to lurking this section!

Hello Quick Silver,

Congratulations and welcome to the ZR1 group.

I'm new as well, sold my 72 Big Block Stingray and my 2006 Vette to get my ZR1.

Welcome,

Congrats man, beautiful car! Been thinking about one of those for some time...but I can't let go of my C6Z. Love that N/A 427. Still have your C5Z? I think we owned our C5Z's around the same time.

No, "Plain Jane" is gone but not forgotten (see my avatar). After 4 years of mod plotting and planning only to stay stock I figured the best way to gain power was an 07 Z06. The valve drop threads and several people I know losing LS7s put me off "Jenny" so I traded her for a placeholder 2012 3LT GS A6, "Jess". The automatic was an experiment to see if my gear shiftin' days where behind me and what transmission I would want in a C7.

The 2014 deal fell through and I hung on to the GS but the A6 (no offence) was boring. There are ZR1s for sale all over and with the prices as they are I grabbed this one up! Now looking forward to many miles of smiles in Betty"...

I agree with you about rowing gears, out of 5 vettes my first being a auto, never would do that again. To me that's the whole point of a sports car. I'm getting the ZR1 itch again, but we will see.
This time it will b jetstream blue.....lol

Congrats on your ZR1. It looks great. Be sure to bring it to the FunFest in Effingham this year. I met Kevakasper and his lovely wife there last year and parked next to them. Nice folks.
