Not to hijack the thread but part of the cost of the 95 ZR-1 bought last summer was a trip to Italy this year, probably late September or early October. The most expensive Z in the world! But I definitely look forward to going to Italy also. --Bob

Bob,

On our last trip to Italy, my wife and I spent a week in Tuscana. We took a day trip to Firenze. It was great. We had the best wine and ate like kings. I'd love to have a second place there. My dream is to drive the ZR through Europe and go down to Puglia in southern Italy where some family and friends live. A fairly ignored part of Italy, but actually more of the Italy we think of here.

Hallo Thomas ZR1,
Are the tail lights the only thing that has to be changed for a Z to pass inspection in Germany. Does the older cars still have to pass emmission test?
I live part of the year in Augsburg.
Danke,
Nelson 007

Hi Nelson

One of the best things with a corvette in Germany is: you can nearly do what you want with the car! The German inspection doesn`t know anything about corvettes. They are experts for Europian cars. But: you should be a nice guy if you have a date with the engineers at the inspection. The c4 is a 20 year old car...my car is a condition like new. My car at the inspection means everybody is astonished: What a great car! awesome sound! yes...that`s real v8 sound! Nobody realize the modifications. They can not compare it with other c4 corvettes because there are none. For sure, the relevant modification are registered in the car`s titel by special inspections over the years like Porsche brakes, Bilstein coil over suspension or the special rims and stuff like that...btw my car has the US style tail lights, I don`t like the Europian lamps...corvette flash lights has to be red!!!

Every car has to pass an emission test at the insection, that`s right...but that`s no problem if the cats are on board...btw don`t remove them from the car, it stinks horrible!

....don`t be afraid for the German inspection if your corvette is in a good condition!

Danke Thomas ZR-1 for the information.
My biggest concern was in emission inspection. Do you have problems finding someone to work on the car? I was going to bring over one of my older Corvettes but they are BB and a couple of LT1's high performance. My Z is the only Corvette that I own that's not too bad in the wallet concerning gas.


Viele Grüße und vielen Dank,

Nelson007
