Hey Guys
Been lurking for a while. Finally pulled the trigger on a ZR-1. One of only Nineteen 1990 Blue cars, arrived from the midwest late last week.
Been busy cleaning and taking care of a few small repairs. I'm planning on using it as my DD during the week when weather permits (weekend I'm pretty much stuck with the SUV hauling the family around)
I've found the info here a huge help and will attempt to make a meagre contribution to the knowledge base as I gain epertise with the beast.
Apologies in advande for any newbie/dumb questions I may ask.

Nice looking Z, I've always liked that color blue. How many miles are on it and what are the last 4 digits of the VIN (tells you what number ZR-1 it is)?
Post up more pics, if you can. :thumbsup:

Congratulations on your beautiful Quasar Blue ZR-1. There were only 15 QB's with Black interior made in 1990.
Welcome to the Brotherhood!

Nice looking car! I love the '90s in blue, they really go well with the black beltline.

Welcome to the Zoo.
We'll need more pics, of course.
All this talk of black cars being badder, blue being faster, whatever.
We all know that.....
ALL CORVETTES ARE RED.

Thanks again for checking her out for me Johnny. Its a nice looking car for sure.
Haven't had much seat time - but definitely no buyers remorse. I'm looking forward to putting on some miles this summer.
So far I've replaced the spoiler and rebuilt the antenna, in-process on the headlight bushings - slowly working my way up to the plenum (I ordered Haibeck's DVD today)

Both blue and purple are tied for the fastest. Great to have you aboard.
