This is an interesting topic with lots of great history.
For me and like others have said, this was the coolest car out there when I was a 16 year old kid. I wanted one so bad that I used to get on the nerves of people always talking about it. I remember it being a major event just to see one on the street (still is to this day). At the time, I thought I could never afford one.
A few years ago after having moved to Denver
, I was talking to a peer of mine who was a muscle car fan and telling him how I'd always wanted to own a ZR-1. He said to me "What's your price range?" and I told him what it was thinking I didn't have enough disposable cash to purchase one (I had seen a 92 for sale in the NYC area about a year before for 40k, as I recall, so this was my reference point). He promptly pulled up a couple on one of the car listing sites for well within my price range to my amazement.
The rest was history once I found "that blue color" I always liked.
