Jaws;I have read of many ZR-1 owners who have topped the 185 mark and still had more to give. I don't know about the 0-60, but at all the drag events I've gone to the Z06s have never lived up to their claims of bettering the ZR-1. I have never pushed my ZR-1 to the claimed 1/4 capability, but I'm 55 with slow reactions, very limited trips down the track (with this car), and that stock gearing that brings me to the end line at maxed rpms or another shift. Power isn't the problem with the ZR-1...getting enough hookup is.Froggy;I have my insurance with Great American on my '91. It runs me about $300 for 5000 miles (plus exceptions) per year. Still gotta have a garage, though.
