Some opinions please ........
Hello.
I have 2000 coupe and a 1991 ZR-1.
As I find I don't have the time to drive these cars as much as I'd like, I am selling the coupe, and am pondering selling the ZR-1.
The ZR-1 is turqoise, and has just under 2000 miles on it, and is totally original (except for a replaced battery or two). The Z06's have really caught my eye, especially considering the deals you can get on them now.
But, I am having a hard time parting with the ZR-1.
What would you do?
Thanks for any advice .......

Purely a personal preference but I'd keep that low mileage, high interest ZR-1 and trade the C5. You will love the Z06!! Best of luck and let us know what you finally decide.

Thanks for the opinions.
But, I really only ***need*** * :) one "fun" car. So, the real question is:
Sell the ZR-1 and get a Z06
or
keep the ZR-1.
Thanks!

Man I really want a ZR1 parked next to my Z06 In the garage.
Enough to sell my 68 ss vert Camaro. All I have to do is convince my wife.
I cant give you any advice other than. The Z is most likely a better all around car.If you want a driver. Have you driven a Z? Cause once you do it will be hard not to get one it was for me. Good luck :cheers: :chevy :chevy :chevy :chevy :chevy :chevy :chevy
I love the Bowtie

I understand the desire to keep the ZR1 since it's pretty unique, but if I could only have one fun car, I'd rather have one I can drive. Changing batteries does not meet my criteria of having fun.
Going to the track, on cruises, meeting up at mod parties is a bunch of fun. You only go around once. Pick a car and do it! :smash:

Re: Some opinions please ........
The Z06 is worlds above the ZR1. Much better build quality all around. I thought I'd have a hard time departing from the clam shell hood but, after my first drive with the Z06 I forgot all about my old C4.
