Which one should I take to BG?

[zr1assassin]

Less than 24 hours till I leave to head for Bowling Green for the Gathering and I still can't decide which one to take. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
The C4 is the obvious choice because after all it is a C4 Gathering LOL but...... A: the car is 26 years old at this point and although reliability has never been an issue it is a long way from home and B: the car has relatively low miles on it, I'm not super concerned about putting miles on it but we all know that struggle. C: the C6 is a much better travel car, smoother, radio works great ECT.
I really am torn on this one, does anybody have any experience driving down that distance (about 8.5hrs) that they can share. Opinions? Advice?

I've driven my ZR-1 to Bowling Green 3 times. Last year I drove my car to St Louis and then put it in a trailer for the remaining miles to Carlisle.



I enjoy driving the car even though it has headers, no cats, X-pipe and B&B exhaust. Can you say loud???


Many now drive their C6/C7 cars to the Gathering or Carlisle and that is personal choice. But when the hoods go up, you know which cars people look at!!!

That's what I was thinking too, worst case scenario she comes home on a flatbed and I'm out $1,000

I have driven both my '92 and '95 ZR-1 to Bowling Green and absolutely enjoyed the trip. I have driven the C6 Z06 to other events at BG only because they were not C4 specific. I drove my C6 ZR1 to Carlisle last year only because my latest project, '91 ZR-1 had just come out of paint and wasn't ready for the trip.

When driving the older cars, I first prepare them so I am reasonably sure I can make the trip. Two I say a prayer before I leave. Three I let people know my route and travel plans. Four I keep my AAA card with me and Five a credit card so if I break down I can rent a car, get a room and have the car taken some where for safe keeping until other arrangements can be made.

In twelve years of attending The Gathering or Carlisle I have only rented a car once and that was planned because I left my '92 in BG so it could be worked on by the Late Jim Van Dorn.

Safe travels no matter what you choose to do.
