Hello From Michigan
Hi everyone, recently added a 2009 ZR1 to my (hopefully shrinking) collection.
I remember being at the GM ren cen in 2011 as a student and seeing one on the showroom floor thinking I'd never be able to afford one. Thankfully my situation has changed and they've depreciated enough to where I was able to get one!
Car has been a blast so far, only thing I can pick on is the clutch. It's so lightweight that it makes the car hard to drive smoothly, especially moving from a stop. As far as problems go though, this is really a non-issue. Hope to learn a lot and track down the history/build of my car.
