On this week's "Legendary Motorcars", the host Peter Klutt, a Toronto collector car restorer/dealer, had a segment on cars that, in his opinion you could buy today for a reasonable price, drive for 4-5 years, and re-sell for the same money, or for a profit.
Standing in front of a red 95' ZR-1 he touted the Z, and the 96' Grand Sport, as good high performance cars that can be purchased for "less than $30K", driven hard for a few years and not worry about them falling apart, or losing much of their value. Klutt also mentioned the "cult following" of the C4 ZR-1 (I guess that's us),. In fact, he strongly praised the C4 as a car that will stand up to a lot of racing punishment without costing an arm or a leg to fix. "Just slap another set of brake pads on and you're good to go". It was good to see a guy that has a good reputation in the collector car world really give the old Z a great review. A much better review than the Buick GNX got on the same show from his female co-host, who really whined about the black turbo's faults. "The interior, with too much carpet everywhere, smelled like someone's old living room"......??? RESPECT ![]() |

I checked Velocity through next Saturday and don't see it listed but they do replay these quite often and usually will have the last episode followed by the new one.

It's on the Velocity Channel, (Direct TV-Ch. 281). On cable? I don't know.
If you find the show on your system, record the one that promos the Buick GNX, and the AAR Cuda, the ZR-1 is only in a brief segment and not promoted. If you get Velocity, these shows are repeated all the time, you'll run into it. |

I purchased my 90 ZR-1 from Legendary 4 years ago.
He had the 95 and the GS there at the time too...not to mention the collection of Cobras, Italian exotics and a Zonda. |
