Default Re: Why a ZR-1?

guess i came to know about them when i went to dick gulstrands with my 92 lt1 to get an idea about what mods would be best. i had this car paper that the used car guys in reno put out . the wilson brothers had this zr1 for 13995 in 2003 with 70 k miles on it . so i asked dick about the car and the look on his face was amazing . he said dont worry about modding the lt1. tomarrow just go to reno and get that car if it cks out ok. he gave me a ck list of thing to look for . so the next day i drove to reno and traded the lt1 and 4 grand for my blk zr1 . i have been in love with these cars ever since . i bought another a year later with high miles that i was going to mod . then bud eyre chev called me telling me of a callaway they had that might have a bad motor ,that they would let loose of cheap .i ended up trading the red car and 8,000 for the white callaway with 42k miles on her . the engine problem turned out to be a dissconnected vacume line from the secondary pump which i fixed before i left the lot . best part was gary burke the saleman (who i knew) asked if there was something wrong when he saw the hood up . i said i am fixing what is wrong with the motor .he said B>S. i said hop in and i will show you .prceeded to burn about 30 feet of rubber on a side street ,and said what do you think, is it fixed? he muttered a bunch of 4 letter words when he got out of the car . i thanked him and drove ole Farrah home . put a big red bow on it for my wife . not enough space to share the deal i pulled on her .but it sure was fun . i really miss her , she really loved that car ,and gave her the name she has now .
