Potential ZR-1 owner with some questions. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Dime · 05-11-2011

Hey guys I'm hoping to find myself a good, affordable Z within a few months and wanted to know a little about what actually goes into owning one.

1). Would a ZR-1 be a good daily driver?

It will become my main vehicle. I plan on driving it everyday, for almost every occasion, rain or shine, night and day. Where I live we don't know what snow is so that won't be an issue.

2.) What's the up keep on one?

I know that the only real difference between a Z and a regular C4 is the LT5, and I know the LT5 is a very durable endurance engine, but what all goes into the up keep of the beast and the up keep of the car as a whole? I am no mechanic. I can do the basic stuff like, oil, plugs, filters, etc. I live in Vicksburg, MS so I'm not too far from Mike Ebert if I need a pros help.

3.) Why do most have 3, 4, 5, or more owners?

I understand that it's not just some other car, and a lot of people want a chance to own one but still. Is it just a hard car to keep up, what?

If I think of anything else, I'll post it as well.

Thanks for the help fellas.
