I certainly agree also with Dom. You can get a surprisingly cheap ZR-1 and with a few thousand in service make it just like a new car. I chose a different route--decided that for my second ZR-1 I wanted a low mileage late production 95, paid up for it, then had Marc Haibeck work his magic with the 510 HP package (paid dearly for that but worth every penny). So you can get a $13,000 ZR-1 and have a great time with it. On the other end, if I sold mine at say, $42k, I would lose a ton of dough but someone would get one of the last 40 produced, a low mileage stock car with very special modifications done by the world's premier ZR-1 specialist at half cost plus all the original parts to put back for NCRS judging. So which ever way you want to go--just drive the heck out of it and enjoy what we call the "Permagrin". --Bob
