I'd like to chime in, but I'm too busy finishing up my "winter" mods...so she'll go mo bettah at the strip (and sound good too!).

BTW, the amount of junk stripped outta her is starting to pile up! (Secondaries - good riddance!), the A.I.R system (better keep that in case I change states or something), razor sharp #@!##$* heat shields, factory exhaust manifolds and cats, the Borla cat-back...U get the picture!

As someone (here?) once said: "Some are waxers, and some just wipe the blood off!" I guess I be more like the latter!

Well I wipe the blood off before I become a waxer. Alot of us on here are both.............I show mine all the time and I drive the crap out of her every day possible. Over 70K on the clock and still waxing!!!

Bought "The Beast" in the fall of '06 with just 7,500 miles on the odo. It is up over 15,000 now and has seen both rain and snow (same day while in the Rockies). It doesn't get driven as much as I like it to but it sure does draw attention at the Thursday night cruise-in.

Let see am I addicted to driving the Z?

1. Always looking for an excuse to drive it? Yes.
2. Do I need a navigation system? No because I do not care if I get lost while driving.
3. Gas to fill it up is going up again. I do not care filler up? Oh yea!
4. Do loud sounds bother me? Nope love the sound of the beast at full throttle and I will still wave as I go by.

Diagnoses: Addicated! Yep! See you on the road,

Plus I still keep her clean and waxed. It is easier to get the bugs off.

I drive mine whenever I can. Currently over 101,000 miles. Took it out yesterday to meet up with club members for the Fourth of July. We had thirteen cars and I was one of two C4's but the only ZR-1. We parked our cars as part of a car show display prior to the fireworks and several people walked up to the car and began pointing to the ZR-1 badge and began smiling. You can always pick out the ones that are truly knowledgeable.
