After my accident at the track last year in the ZR-1 I have been looking for a replacement. I haven't really found another "higher mileage" ZR-1 that would fit the bill for me. I almost bought a black/black down in Texas, but another person got there before me. At this time I started looking for various other cars, but nothing to fit the bill. I looked at RX-7's(crazy market right now), 3000GT VR-4's, Mustang Cobra's. The VR-4 was very bland to drive and heavy, Mustang Cobra I don't think would make a great track car, and the RX-7 market right now is just crazy. A guy locally sold his "roller with a blown engine" for $11k.

I decided to look at the newer Corvettes with an LS engine. As much as I don't like the LSx engine, the overall package makes for a great track/weekend car. I found a guy locally who was older and looking to move on from his Z06. We came to an agreement on the price and here I am with a Yellow Z06. The car isn't 100% perfect, but for 74,000 miles it is damn near perfect. Has 2 small imperfections in the paint, needs a HVAC control module.



I have posted some my C4 ZR-1 items for sale in the forum and will still regularly check here in hopes that a ZR-1 pops up that fits my needs. This community is one of the best car communities I have been apart of. Everyone was willing to help, provide accurate information, and help to keep these engines alive. Thanks for all the help over the years with my LT5.

BTW the shifter in the C5Z06 is terrible. I miss that ZF trans already.
