Whoo Whoo!! =D>

Welcome to the "members" fan club! We got our ZR1 approx 4 weeks ago and I still can't stop saying "Look, honey! There's a ZR-1 in the garage!" I'm looking forward to seeing your Z in person in Utah at the ALMS race in July!!

Congratulations on the new Z. I've had my 91 for about 2 years and have loved every minute of owning it. Spin up that LT5 and enjoy.

Here she is all tucked in for her first night in a new home

The only trouble light that comes on intermittently is the "Service LTPWS", I found that to be the low air tire warning so I'm not too concerned about it.
Everything seems to work great and runs strong

PM the cost of the center plate.

Glad to see my old car is in good hands

The LTPWS sensors are not on the car hence the warning light, you can pull the bulb to get rid of it. The car had a OTS DRM chip as well as the factory chip when I sold it. I did the porting work on the intake - partial siamese job. It dynoed at 374rwhp if I recall correctly. The guy I sold it to was going to add an X-pipe to the exhaust - not sure if he did or not, you should take a look underneath and see. It had 2.5 in pipe where the resonater should be and replacing the smaller pipe with a larger x-pipe would be some easy HP. Add some headers and a good dyno tuned chip and I'll bet money this car will see 400rwhp. I'll send you some more details on the car via email.

CONGRATS sledutah I'm sure plenty of ZR-1 guys will trade u their sawblades for the 5 spokes. I too prefer the sawblade look but most are the other way around..ie u can see the red (brembo's ?) peakin through!!!

Thanks for the info on the sensors. It only comes on intermittently and resets when you shut the car off. Since it isn't on all the time I "assumed" that the sensors were there. I'll pull the bulb to take care of that problem

I'll have to check the x-pipe later.

Any information you have, I would appreciate it. This is my first corvette, but not my first fast car!! So I'm sure I'll have lots of questions.

Thanks,
Craig

Thanks for the tip. The 5 spokes are growing on me (along with Red ext), and I really like the look of the brakes

I was originally was looking for one just like yours (Black/Black w/sawblades) but couldn't find one in good condition for the right price.
