New ZR-1 owner... just introducing myself>>> - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

ZR1Vette · 12-28-2007

Jim asked me to say HI! to everyone...so here we go...
I purchased an extremely nice 90 ZR-1 (#566) on Thursday...drove in home here in Reston, Virginia. I presently own a C6 Lingerfelter 366 (known as MR BLU on the CorvetteForum) but I have always been taken by the ZR-1... everytime I would see one I knew one day I too would own one and the search began and ended yesterday. Here are a few pics of my red on red (yea I know it is the more common color combo but I love the looks

) :
Some specifics: 1990 #566 with dual tops and auto AC: miles at purchase 1327; fanatically maintained with constant fluid changes, new tires, all seals (door and rear lid) perfect condition etc etc. I consider it a real find:

I have started the detailing and a few upgrades...but I really want to keep this one OEM within reason (unlike my C6 which has numerous upgrades)

Look forward to seeing fellow ZR-1 owners so I can learn from you...so here is to spring and driving weather and meets!

You should plan on attending the "Gathering" in May in
Bowling Green , Ky.
You will learn more about your car there, in a long weekend, than
you would in a year, not attending. plus, you can put faces here, to the
names, albeit, some are better left lets say, "unviewed"

enjoy your new ride.
