O.K....I'm going to have a "bad spell" for a minute here.

How in the HELL can this car, be priced $14,000 BELOW this thing?

OVER PRICED HONDA

HOW???


The pile of part that make up that awesome ZR-1 should be worth more than that entire Honda as a complete car...never mind the complete car (the ZR-1) with it's history, pedigree, Doug Rippie mods etc. I don't "get it".

That is a good price, C4's sure are not getting any love in the value department though, sad that our ZR-1's are sitting where they are on the NADA side, without the advancements KOH made as well as the durability, etc, we would not see what we are today from GM.
