Welcome to the Brotherhood of the Beast!
You've come to the right place.
There's more detailed knowlege of the ZR1 here than any where else.

Post Pics & details as soon as you can.

To answer your question, yes indeed, ZR1's are all that AND a bag of chips.

There is no other car like them.
Get in it and 'Drive it like you stole it"
You will learn "PERMA-GRIN".

Again, congrats on your purchase.

thanks for the replies. i cannot wait for it to get here, a little about it: the car is a one owner, 132,000 miles, black on black with chrome rims, came with the complete zr-1 buyers kit, all service records, and carfax/nada checks good. the suspense is killing me, i found it online of all places, and for an awesome price, i wish i could have test drove it first but i am having an independent inspection done there. btw any az. members?

OH YEAH THEY ARE FUN. i liked the car so much I bought another just in case I had to have work done on her. There is no sound oor feeling like these cars @7000. I am thinking of buying another just to make sure I always have my baby there for a ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

provider...as we like to see whatcha got..
a couple of warnings...

1. pressing down hard on the gas pedal..may cause
a rush of adrenaline...along with a perpetual smile
and a roar like no other...along with the smell of
burned rubber....do not be alarmed as this goes
hand in hand with the ownership of the "Beast"

2. repeat after me....i will not modify this car...

Welcome to the brotherhod, Rule #1 ALWAYS make sure your going stright before you floor it other wise you maybe in for a ride in the grass or a wall wich ever is beside you. #2 Be ready to be the envy of all your friends when ya give them the first ride they well be your new best friend but NEVER let them drive it unless you are with them and they will agree to buy it if they wreck it. #3 Always excercise the secondery's everytime you go for a ride.. enjoy your new toy but always respect the power ..
