R.I.P. 1992 #474
 

All,

Some of you may already know that I had the unfortunate experience of crashing my car at the Corvette Challenge on Oct. 30. Why it happened we are not exactly sure. Luckily I was the only one on the track at the time so no other cars were involved. Car was running well and I had just dynotuned it to producing just under 400rwhp with ported top end. I hit second gear and it started drifting towards the left hand wall hitting with the driver's rear corner then went across 2 lanes bouncing into the guardrail on the right.
The timeslip had me moving at 89.99mph through the 1/8mile traps when this all started to happen. Indications seem to be that frame may not be bent but it would need a frame machine to verify. However, the fiberglass damage and paint makes it prohibitive to repairing for me. Someone else may think otherwise. If I was Jay Leno, no problem. In any case, car went out as a warrior :saluting: and I got away without anything more than a sore back muscle for a month.
So the plan is to part #474 out. It had 51K on the odometer. Drivetrain will be swapped into a ZR I just bought 92 #458, Black Rose/Black. My FBI buddies are going to give me a hand doing this transition.
Rather than list parts for sale, just list me what you're looking for. I also have additional spare parts that I will be selling as well.
I can tell you hood is shot, but some driver's side panels are good, interior good (Gray), electronics good. I'll be assessing more as I get car here.
Drivetrain from #458 will be for sale and it is a very driveable car in good condition. I'll post pics as we go.

I had heard about your misfortune. Glad you are OK.

I'm also happy to hear that you are right back in another ZR-1. You're a great asset to the ZR-1 family Dominique. Thanks for hangin' in there!

I have dibs on the Brake rotors :-D

If the e-brake cables are not too stretched I might take those too.

I have only seen pictures of the car, but it is not pretty

Dominique, very sorry to hear about your bad luck. I know how I'd take it if it were me and my Z; I can only imagine how you feel. Glad to hear you're right back into the saddle.

let me know what you want for the rear plate frame

Sorry Dom for your loss and glad you are sticking with us. If you need anything just holler...........

Sorry to hear, Glad you are ok. May be interested in some interior parts.

Re: R.I.P. 1992 #474
 

Also sorry to hear the news Dom. Best of luck with your new Black Rose.

Guys,

Thanks. I appreciate the sentiment and the camaraderie. In some respects its a bit like losing your right arm. You still feel that it is or should be there but it isn't.:cry: I always enjoyed walking out to the garage and looking at the car. The Aqua is very pretty IMO and the Z06 wheels looked great on that color. I think they'll also look great on Black Rose.
At least with a TRANSplant of the same drivetrain, it'll feel like the old car.:cool:

Dom, glad you decided to hang with us. I really like the black rose color. Almost painted by car that color.
