Great story Paul--I guess I sold too soon! Sigh. Wish I had more garage space. But there is hope for all the ZR-1 owners. I still am at a loss to understand why the ZR-1 have been so undervalued for so long. Despite all our efforts over the years, and despite the essentially bulletproof LT5 engine, people still seem to be afraid of the LT5 for durability and maintenance reasons. Their mistake and their loss. --Bob

Thanks Paul. The article espouses many of the reasons why Registry is the spiritual home for all ZR generations, IMO.

Nice article and nice to see the writer got the facts straight. I do think the car might finally be coming into its own. I'm seeing more and more articles like this lately.
