Re: Max....Where in Italy do you live....
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

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.

Re: European tail light harness
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 Last edited by nelson007; 02-05-2013 at 10:46 AM. |

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!

Re: European tail light harness
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 |
