What's the Mileage on your ZR-1(s)? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

93RubyZ · 04-23-2007

As part of my research: http://www.zr1netregistry.com/forum/...ead.php?t=3159, I'm looking for reliability data on as many ZR-1's as I can get.

I would like to know the mileage on your ZR-1(s) as well as the year. Please list both pieces of information for each ZR-1 you own. If you prefer not to post here, you can also send it to me via PM. Whatever information I get here will become my data sample size, so the more responses I get the better. I will not associate the data provided to specific cars.

Also, for the reliability aspect, if you have had any major failures of either the LT-5 engine or transmission, I would like to know that as well. By major failure, I mean a failure that has caused either a complete rebuild or replacement. If anyone has had any of these failures, I will probably have more specific questions for them.

I will be asking this question here and at the Net Registry, so for those that post at both places, please only reply at one location so I don't double count. Thanks!

I'll go first,

1993
61,000 miles
No engine or transmission failures

tomtom72 · 04-23-2007

Cool I'll go second!

90, #2233, black over grey, 21,561

No motor or other drive train failures......but plenty o gremlins to keep me chasing down stuff....unless injectors count? Other than that mostly all the stuff in the "common issues" section @ the Net Reg site.

just an update on 90/2233, up to 46,000 + miles and still no major failures. It just needs to have some of it's inherent slowness removed....I think if I drove it less, it would seem quicker! LOL

another update: 51,514 3/23/2012 still nothing major to report.

1990 - 29,500 miles (just racked up 1,500 on it on a trip). Only real failure was the injectors and the secondary vacuum hoses. Though at WOT the car was still strong.

1995 Bright aqua blue, 445 miles.
