Default New zr-1 owner

Im the very happy owner of a 1993 Zr-1 that has been well taken care of. (many of you probably know the previous owner) Its been a dream of mine to finally own a LT-5 after many C5's, two C4's, and two C6's. Let the fun begin!

I have seen this car first hand and even ridden in it when the previous owner had it. It is nice car!

This section (and over at the ZR1.net) has a pretty loyal and dedicated bunch of followers. You will be in good company!

look up my old buddy Curtis Ward about Open Road Racing

funny story, he ran the car up to 201 with nothing more than ported top end, tuning, headers, and a 3" straight pipe exhaust that had a doomsday boom from the beast his target speed was 180 so 201 was a hair too fast and they asked him to send the trophy back

he said, "come get it" (not really but it's a good story )

That car met an untimely end but the engine lived on. 108k of racing miles and if you saw Curtis drive, that little LT5 was a screamer and even had a dose of nitrous to keep up with Bob's 385 LPE car which isn't easy

Bob's car has new moved on to the Pres, Mark (at least I think he still has it) and it's one of the meanest ZR-1s I've ever seen. The wheels, high rise hood, and of course the LPE engine are schweeet.

I'm in your shoes also, just picked up my black/black 90 last weekend. I love the yellow and Fiske wheels. Hope to get a plate on her tomorrow.
