Default yee haawwww

Well after roadtesting a new ZO6, and then not being able to think about anything else--- i came across a good deal or at least what i thought was a good deal----i just picked up a new black 03 left over ZO6 and i cant believe i did it. I already have a 91ZR1, i love em both but i think the ZR is gonna lose its spot to the ZO6---hard to part with an old friend but to expensive to keep both. If anyone may be interested in the 91zr1 drop me a note and i will fill you in-----

I know exactly the feeling - still have my 90 zr1 up for sale after buying an 04 Z16. Unreal improvements in 14 years.

Just curious, but do you guys feel your Z06 is that much quicker than your ZR1's?

Not really quicker - my zr1 was over 80mph in second, and the high rpm pull is better in the zr1, but just overall the whole c5 platform is sooooo superior.

I haven't made a long road trip yet, and the local roads aren't great for high speed runs - too many cops - so I haven't taken the z06 up over 80.

The zr1 is still one of the greatest cars made, vette or otherwise.
