At the very least, change the tires.
If you're a NCRS kind of guy, save the old ones and slow boat them over the border.
Make SURE to pre-ship a tool kit and enough spare parts you can afford, "In the Just In Case" you might need them along the way.
Fuel filter, fuel pumps, spark plugs, coil packs, air/oil filters, etc.

Then, get in it and drive it.
Don't baby it.
Drive it hard.
It will do an honest 175mph.
And do it for 24 hours.
We will be glad to show you the proof.

Your new baby will appreciate being rode hard and enjoyed.
It seems that the harder you drive them, the better the ZR-1 runs.

Enjoy the drive home, just be sure to watch out for the law.
Somehow they take offense to seeing a 35 year-old Super Car at speed.
