It is pristine. Very nice. Pop and bling all over. How much did it set you back?

Well, when you trade in you're only concerned with the difference, they " showed " me $47k canadian for mine and with the OEM chrome split spokes/good years( wanted to keep my cup wheels for this car), cost me $30k canadian $$ + and shipping to get it but I've always had the approach of pay more if it's right for a gem and certainly for low, low kms (or miles for the US folks) . This was right for me, being 3400 kms away one way didn't matter either. I'm happy so far. Put my front splitter on this morning and tomorrow fresh oil change, then safety certificate and lisc office for a new registration - then I go enjoy -. I'm bonding with her 😀

Thanks everyone for the kind words, the key to not missing your toy is to replace it with something else - often better - I think I did alright😁

Looks awesome. Let us know how she handles compared to the Z06 Im sure its faster in a straight line, was just wondering if you notice anything else between the two cars. Great find

I also went from a Z06 to a ZR1. Be prepared to be unable to wipe the smile off your face!
Congrats.

Car looks awesome. Trust me, as I speak from experience. The Z06 is a great car but it will be a faint memory very quickly. Enjoy that bad boy...and leave the chromes on it.
