New to the Forum - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

RedSled · 11-20-2006

Want to introduce myself and my '90 Red/Red ZR-1. I joined the Registry when I purchased my car this summer and am just getting around to writing on the Forum. The car is nearly stock, 21,000 miles and currently has no issues. Just replaced the water pump and stock front tires and ditched the tire pressure sensors. I'm a very happy ZR-1 owner.

I'm aiming to drive down to the ZR-1 Reunion at the Museum in May. Hope to see you there.

Here are a few photos. (I knew you'd ask) http://s128.photobucket.com/albums/p164/RedSled24/

Cheers to all , Keith in Maryland

Hello to a fellow brother of the beast!!! Pics sure look like a very nicely taken care of car. Living in Maryland I suppose it is about time for hibernation

Thanks guys. The Registry and Forum have been a great source of information so far and both were helpful in my purchase. Much appreciated. It's a clean car. Came with all the paperwork. Pizza box. Both tops....
ZR-1s are such great cars. I still find it surprising that they are not more popular in the Corvette community. I see it even in our local Corvette Club. Like they are an oddity. Go figure? How can you not like a Corvette that revs and sounds as good as the LT-5 does! I was sold as soon as I drove one. Had to have my own Beast.

Keith,

I'm also new to the forum and a new Z owner, 1990 Polo Green, Saddle with 18,000 on the odometer (19k now). I'm happy to see there is another ZR-1 owner in Maryland. I was beginning to think I was the only one.

Look forward to meeting you and your "Polo" sometime Don. I actually know another ZR-1 owner who is in our local Corvette club. She owns a '90 Red with Saddle and has about 80K miles. Haven't talked her into joining the registry yet. I do not want to put my car down for the winter. Wonder if we'll be able to sneak in a few winter rides? Hope so.

Cheers, Keith

Keith,

Have you ever been to "The Church of the Donut" in Burtonsville on Sunday mornings? I plan on being there with Polo.

Don
