'90 value vs '91 value

[MuRCieLaGo]

Hi,

I'm just wondering...

If you take 2 ZR-1s, exact same condition, both in red color, exact same mileage.

Which one between the '90 and '91 is worth more?

I think they will fetch about the same amount.

Around the same....91 front end is a little more stylish, little more aerodynamic ...Prefer the 90 wheels over the saw blades though..

All about personal preference I guess. I chose a 91 for the softer bodylines through the front bumper and the body color rub strip and mostly the wheels. The odd thing is I like the black rub strip on base cars but prefer the painted strip on the Zs.

Tough to say. You would think the 90 would be more sought after being one year only

Funny thing 1/2 of all C4 Zr-1's produced are 1990's!!!

I know guess that is why it balances out :)

Trying to price the 90 and a 91 today, unless they were both wrapped in plastic since the were made, I don't know that the little differences are worth a lot; certainly not to me. (We've actually got one of each - a 90 and 91 side-by side)

The 90 is outwardly unique having the old style front bumper with the new style rear. The belt on the 90 is the narrow, black rubber bumper, whereas the 91 is wider and paint-color matching.

The sport seats on the 90 are (to me) horrible. The bolsters are too high, making one crawl up and over to drop into the seat. Then they press against my left leg so that in a couple hours my leg starts getting numb. However, the bolsters on the 91 are better, they didn't really get it right until 95. (So, I installed base seats in both Zs, and we love 'em!!!)

The POWER switch in the 90 is manually switched, whereas the 91+ defaults to NORMAL when the engine is first started. Both Zs have the secondaries removed and are "hard-wired" to permanently be in FULL POWER setting (for various reasons besides WOT).

Were I buying one or the other, all things being equal, I'd prolly go with the 91 simply because I like the body style a little better. But, price-wise, I don't think I'd pay a lot more for the little visual clues...Oh! and fender badges! But, now for a 95?? That is a different question...

Yep, Pete's!!!

I would think that the 1990 ZR-1, as much as it pains this 1991 owner to say it.....Being the first year of production. And weren't the first 100 or so hand built? Meaning not traveling down an assembly line. I would think a low mileage 90 and if it were one of the first built. But both those years saw the highest volume of production, that may turn off future values. I prefer my 1991, I like the new front fascia and differences in the interior. I do like the 1990 wheels a little better than the 1991's, but that's about it. A person can't go wrong with either year....puts you in a very exclusive club, gets you attention in spades (sometimes unwarranted) and gives you that unique 4 cam 32 valve symphony out of the pipes. :saluting:
