Default Honestly would you rather have a z06?

If you could sell your ZR-1 right now for close to what you have invested, would you sell and get a new z06? Even if you have a great ZR-l [low mileage, mint condition, stroked, dunn heads, yellow, whatever], do you really wish you had a new z06 instead?

Much rather have a 415 Zr-1. More fun
You cannot really argue on a modern 427, but at 45K Its a bit much.

Talking Re: Honestly would you rather have a z06?

The ZR-1 does it for me. I remember when they came out, sticker shock for sure. And the performance was second to none. I also have a Yamaha Vmax that is in the same catagory as far as performance goes. They both rocked their respective worlds when introduced.

A 441 (or bigger) would definetly be sweet.

No. New Z06 may produce more hp and run quicker and faster but I am a firm believer that an LT5 w/ quad cams, resulting in lower reciprocating mass, is one of few motors that are happy to rev for a whole day if needed. Of course we may not run 24 hr endurance record but the very same nature of this motor results in longevity.
Every time I drive this car, and 94 ZR-1 is my daily driver, I marvel at smoothness at any rpm. It feels like a fine Swiss watch.
Besides, every time I climb in it's 1991 all over again, the best year in my life...

I severely want a Z06, but will not get rid of the ZR-1 to do it.
