Re: Giving them away
Okay, Lou is right.....kind of. May be we are our own worst detractors.
I know one thing for sure, though. As a relative noob, owner since 12/04, I never usually compare my 90 ZR-1 to much of anything made during the same time frame....except to turbo 911's or Testarossa's & cars like that. I don't even stop to consider any other domestic production cars vs a ZR-1. Mostly when I do the compare mine to yours thing; I'm comparing C5's & 6's...all of them, ZO6 et al....and all the stuff from Europe that costs twice as much as a new 90 ZR-1...and I learned that method from the senior ZR-1 owners, I hardly ever hear them rate their Z's to say an L98/LT1/LT4. My point is that if you own a 90 Z, most of us measure our cars against what you can buy right now....whenever NOW is. That says quite a bit about our cars , which are at least 18 model yrs old right now! Oh and my comment about the headers being a normal preventative maintenance thing.....I don't want my LT5 ingesting the results of my OEM cats suffering a catastrophic failure & taking my motor with them. That's my story & I'm sticking to it! Tom
