What's your ultimate vision for your ZR-1?

[Aurora40]

What do you have in the works for your Z, or what things would you like to one day do to it? You can also list any fantasy Z's you'd like to have, but I'm more interested in things you reasonably plan on doing.

I'm sure for some of you you've already done these things.

I'd like to change my car in the following ways, and these are mostly in order:

• Headers (with emissions equipment)
• Exhaust: I'm not sure what I want to go with just yet. I like Corsa's straight-through aspect. It seems the ultimate way to go for that pipe size. Plus they aren't that heavy like glasspacked mufflers. I'm not sure the tips look right to me for an '80s Corvette, though, and I have to think about what kind of sound I want
• Port and polish. I like the idea of a 350, but getting some free extra power out of it is sure cool. On the street, what difference does it really make if you have 475hp or 1000hp. I'm sure both are fun to drive (as is 375hp). But ~500hp seems like a good place to be at, especially in a motor that will still be smooth and such.
• Brakes upgraded to 6-pistons in front and stainless lines. Nothing crazy, or for racing, just a step up. I do like how the stock rotors fill the wheels, though.
• Wheels maybe. I like the 5-spokes, but I really dig OZ Mitos
• I'd like perfect paint. Mine is pretty nice, but not perfect. Not sure if I'd want a respray, though, as it's only new once.
• I think the Callaway aerobody is cool, but I kinda think I would keep a stock body even if I had a lot of money to toss around. The 1990 is distinct, only one year and one model looked like this.

I also think it would be cool to have a totally stock 1990 in Steel Blue to keep. It was just a cool color. But red/red is so sweet, albeit common, that I just had to get that.

What would you like to do to your car?

Edit: I also meant more mod stuff than maintenance stuff. But other things I am planning are changing the diff fluid, new tires, and new injectors, in addition to whatever else pops up.

My goal when I started was to be able to reverse any modification to make it bone stock if needed for resale value. So with that in mind I have put on headers, X-pipe, and B & B exhaust, but I have kept the stock manifold/cats and exhaust. I will go with a performance chip once I decide on the best one, and I'd like to get a Dyno Tune from Aaron at SGC. I might go with a P & P of the plenum and IH, but that is about it. If I were to change the rims, I'd keep the stock ones, and if I were to upgrade/change the brakes, I would still be able to reverse them if needed.

So while some of the guys are going for the ultimate in HP , I'll be content to get around 400 rwhp.

The 93 Green LPE/LSV 385 will stay as it is. And will be enjoyed during good weather. Yes the car gets used in the rain.

The White 91 415 is pretty well done up also. But it may go for sale come spring time.

Callaway Z Speedster....

For mine:

-New leather on the seats
-Top end porting job
-Headers, bullet cats, Corsas
-A Molds
-Lowered 1-1/2 in. in rear
-Hurst shifter
-Paint & tires (done)

Good enough for me...

I consider mine done outside of maintenance items. This winter will be replacing the ZF, water hoses/TS, fluids, plugs, belt and finally more Zaino.

- Headers (CA legal) into RT cats into X pipe into B&B.
- Port & Polish the pleunm and IH.
- RC fuel injectors,... and,.......
Wait a minute what the hell am I talking about. I just want to fix my GODDAMN vacuum leak!!

Basically I want 400rwhp with a stock look, even under the hood, except for maybe a smooth air intake and slotted/drilled/zinc washed rotors and a caliper that lets go of its heat better than these.
I would like to get a fiberglass roof too.

[We Gone]

Just P&P and a good tune Other than that its just how I want it.

Mods so far

Open air filter
Flowmaster catback
tuned chip
cross-drilled rotors/GS calipers
5-spokes

[Kevin]

Repaint to get rid of orange peel
Port/polish/pc cam covers/plenum
redue interior
headers/cats/stock 94 system w/flowmasters
new tune
C6 Z06 Calipers
gears (maybe) I like hitting 120 in third
bypass the TB coolant line
reroute the IAC
shifter
c-beam plates
Keeping it out of the hands of an NCRS guy.......priceless

I think I'm done with this one. Planning for the next one, though!
