New ZR-1 Owner - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

After looking at and driving many C4 Corvettes I purposely waited to test drive the 1990 ZR-1 last.

It was one of the highest mileage Corvettes that I looked at with 129,000, but after driving it I knew it was the one I wanted. After reading many posts and getting feedback from other members I decided to buy it.

It has been two weeks since I brought it home and I must say I am very pleased to own #2360.

Congrats on a very nice looking "Z". Welcome. You've come to the right place. These guys know everything "Z" related.....and then some.

Congratulations on your "new" ZR-1. Be prepared for permagrin each time to drive her.

You have already found the best internet source for ZR-1 owners & enthusiasts and I would be remiss if I didn't also inform you of the ZR-1 Net Registry that provides this forum for all of us. You can read more about the Registry by reading various threads on the forum as well as visiting the ZR-1 Net Registry Home Page. Membership dues are very reasonable and we hope that after learning more about the Registry you will want to become a full time, active member. Again, congrats on your Z.

Congrats. I bought red/red #2742 last year and have really enjoyed it. I'm sure you will too. This is a great place for information.

Welcome!! I like the way you drove the ZR-1 last..... that way you can at least say it was an objective comparison. If you had driven the Zee first, the others would have never been considered.
