New Z owner in your neck of the woods
Well, I finally did it. After a nearly year-long search, I picked up my new baby today. Red on grey 1990 ZR-1, basically stock, 27K on the clock. Got to know her a little bit today, as I logged 300 miles driving her home from Iowa. Permagrin engaged! The car has exceeded all of my lofty expectations. Extremely amiable cruiser, and when the right foot gets an itch...WOW!
 . I will be hearing that engine note in my dreams tonight! Looking forward to getting to know the community, both on here, and hopefully in person.

Re: New Z owner in your neck of the woods
Thanks! Wife (Anna) took lots of pics of the pickup, and I will post them when able. Thanks to previous owner Mark for being such an excellent caretaker! The car looked absolutely gorgeous this morning! As far as future plans, nothing too extreme. Once the bank account recovers from the initial purchase, I may pay a visit to Mark Haibeck for some top end work, but won't mess with the block. Always open to suggestions as well!

Re: New Z owner in your neck of the woods
Thanks for the warm welcome, guys. As I mentioned in another post, this community was definitely a factor in my decision to purchase a ZR-1. The love you all show for these cars is infectious, and I hope I can be as good of an ambassador going forward.

Congrats. I'm a new owner myself, this site is great for newbies like me. Great group of people willing to help anyway they can. Nothing better then punching the car on the open road, have fun.
