New ZR-1 guy here
Hello all, I am a long time car enthusiast, and have finally landed a car I have always desired, a 1990 ZR-1. This is a 465hp lingenfelter tweaked car, blk/blk with 33k miles.
I am mainly a import guy (I have 4 mkiv turbo supras, a supercharged infinity g35 coupe, a 1991 modded all trac, and a few others), but like I said, I have always wanted one of these, so here I am.
I will spend a lot of time soaking up information you have already posted, and trying to learn what to look for on lining some of my current issues with the car (heater doesnt work, a.c is fine, slight hint of coolant, etc)
I plan on, and you will probably hate me, daily driving this car, including my coast to coast jaunts required for business.
Anyway I just wanted to say hey, and introduce myself. I forgot to add that my wife purchased this for me for our 11th anniversary

Thank you Carter, I appreciate the welcome. Black is a sexy color eh?
I am hoping to add a couple snails to this thing once I get familiar with the particulars, and make her a little quicker. I build most of my fi kits for my imports, so hope to make a really unique system for this car as well.
I have a ton of questions, especially concerning the potential of the ecu in this car, but I am going to try to read up before I bombard you experts with rookie questions.

Welcome aboard! One word of warning, once you get addicted to the ZR-1, it is forever!! I've tried C-5's, Vipers, etc., since I had my first ZR-1, and I came back to the Beast. And the ZR-1 community here and the Registry is the best anywhere for help and advice.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.
I filled out my profile, sorry about that.
I appreciate the links, I will check out the forums, and registry.
The meet in Bowling Green might be something to attend, if I can break away.

Don't forget to visit the ZR-1 net registry ( http://www.zr1.net ) . There's tons of useful information, and a members-only section that every ZR-1 owner should read!
