Hello... From a New ZR1 Owner

[Pqtaces]

I just purchased a 1991 ZR1, Red with Black Int.- #879. This is my first ZR1 (or corvette for that matter). I had a couple of Trans Ams when I was younger, but I have been a Porsche guy for much of the last decade (i've had three).

When I had my first child a year and a half ago I got rid of my 1999 Porsche Carrera Cab (the responsible new father thing to do, right?). But I have missed having a toy the whole time. So when it came time to buy another one I decided to look for a vette. I went back and forth between a ZR1 and a c5 Z06.

Well my decision was made for me when I came across what seemed like an awesome deal. I found a one owner 1991 ZR1 with 94k (it is a driver, not a collector) and very clean for $13k that had been stored for the last five years.

I was a little worried that something may be wrong to be that price even though the dealer said otherwise, but it drove very well and they had all of the service records from the first oil change on and a clean carfax. Being not-so-mechanically-savvy, I took it over to Guldstrand for a lube, A/C service and the once over and it came back with a clean bill of health. It needs a few minor things, like a shock rebuild and a full cleaning of the rads, but otherwise it is in excellent condition, leaving me with an unbeatable deal.

I am having a blast driving it so far and am thrilled with my decision. Now I look forward to doing some fun mods.
