Hello, I am at home in Munich.. and new here

[mimue]

Yust to introduce myself:
I am 61 years old, i am born in Munich and live here. I drive a C5 Commemorative Edition Europe, Nbr.11 of 46. In winter a VW Golf 4.
In Jan. 2014 I coud by my ZR-1 as second owner with about 52,500 miles.
I have big fun with my ZR-1 ! Even I had to repare a lot... the car run in Luxemburg, the mechanics there didn't know much about LT5 ... is my impression.
I found a qualified mechanic near Aachen (ca. 400 mls away) for the motor - a big problem, because the LT5 is quite rare here and not at all the usual Corvette-Engine. My mechanic . Thomas - drives a ZR-1 himself, he is in contact with Marc Haibeck. :dancing
In the moment the engine has about 430 hp and 506 Nm torque.
Quite fascinating for a car of that age.

Best regards Michael

Welcome to the board and ZR-1 brotherhood.
Munich is a wonderful city. I travel through there occasionally on my way to Augsburg for business.

Welcome, Michael! Glad to hear you are having big fun in your ZR-1!

Must be nice to "uncage the beast" on the Autobahn!

regards,

Right You are !
We have on some parts of the Autobahn no speed-limit. With little trafic going fast is possible.
Best speed till now was about 168 mph... as lack of courage not faster.
The cassis has new PU-jacks... but the steering is quite direct, so going straight at this speed is very thrilling.

Welcome

When I go to Augsburg from Munich airport I usually take the recently rebuilt Highway 8 which has several long strait sections of perfect pavement with no speed limits. I always dream of what speeds my ZR-1 could do on this road if given the chance.

@Phil:
The Highway 8 is new, but perfect pavement..... not really.. it's a little bit like "bull-riding"... the way Munich to Augsburg, the way back is better.

Best regards and welcome Michael. It sounds as though you now have a good combination of knowledge and skill to keep your ZR-1 happy. Jim

Welcome Michael - Yes, we would enjoy a video of your ZR-1 at speed on the Autobahn.
We Americans would love to have a road where we could just get in the left lane and find out where "top end" really is. :cheers: Prost!

Hi Michael

Let`s say: welcome to the world`s best forum! Well guys I prepared Michaels ZR-1 in my shop at Aachen and he came to pick his car up on a sunday morning. He left at 10.45 AM and called me back at 3.15 PM form his gas station down in Munich....beleave me: Micheal knows how to fly with a ZR-1. He did 650 km (400 mls)...that`s for what a ZR-1 was made for!

Enjoy...viel Spass hier im Forum!
