ZR-1 quotes.
 

My 73 year old father inlaws ZR-1 quotes.

1. That thing is harder to get out of than a mexican prison.
2. Don't park that tacky old red vette in front of my house. It'll bring down my property value.
3. Hell! My 1930 Ford coupe drove better. Hahaha!

And my come back is usually something like "Old man! This is probably the finest sports car your redneck azz has ever sat in. So you'd better hold on to those false teeth cuz here we go.:mrgreen:

It's all in good fun though. We have allot of fun clowning on each other.

Couple years ago at Crown Point Corvette Challenge drags...

Pete is lining up along side a yellow C5 while I watched from the bleachers. A voice behind me said, "Oh, look! (So & so) is lining up against a C4. This ought to be good!" About 11.4x seconds later that same voice was saying "Holy Sh!t"!:jawdrop:

Then it was Dom's turn, and another C5... A hush came over the crowd as they lined up. Dom cuts the light first, and the only sound from the bleachers was, "Huh!!"

Back to Pete again, only it was a C6 lining up. This time someone shouts over the chatter in the stands, "Hey! It's that ZR-1 gain!" Someone else says, "What's a ZR-1?"

I hadn't intended to race, but I couldn't stand just spectating anymore. So, I lined up with my bone stock 90 against a yellow C5. Being new to official drag racing (my first ever pass), I didn't dump the clutch till the light went green - hence the .7 sec reaction time, and the C5 was out in front by a couple lengths before the Z started reeling him in. I passed him at the 1/8 and was a one or more lengths ahead at the finish. I was HOOKED!

By the time I got back to where Pete and Dom were parked, there was a crowd of people standing around - mostly around Pete - asking all sorts of questions about ZR-1s:mrgreen:

This is one of my favorite YouTube videos, "C4 ZR1 vs C5".

Listen closely. When the C5 jumps out by a nose, you hear the photog saying, "HA!!". Then, the Z starts relentlessly pulling ahead, and you hear, "Huh!" - obviously a surprise. And then the best line as the Z is several lengths ahead, "You aren't catching 'im!!"
