Re: Our turn in the sun?
Great story Paul--I guess I sold too soon! Sigh. Wish I had more garage space. But there is hope for all the ZR-1 owners. I still am at a loss to understand why the ZR-1 have been so undervalued for so long. Despite all our efforts over the years, and despite the essentially bulletproof LT5 engine, people still seem to be afraid of the LT5 for durability and maintenance reasons. Their mistake and their loss. --Bob

Thanks Paul. The article espouses many of the reasons why Registry is the spiritual home for all ZR generations, IMO.

Re: Our turn in the sun?
Nice article and nice to see the writer got the facts straight. I do think the car might finally be coming into its own. I'm seeing more and more articles like this lately.

Re: Our turn in the sun?
Wasn't a matter of if it was always a matter of when. One of the funniest things I experienced is how many people at the autoshow asked me if it was a C5. and then to look at their face when I said it was a c4

Re: Our turn in the sun?
Nice article. every little but helps. The C4 ZR-1 is undeniably the start of the US Supercar era. Gotta appreciate history.

Re: Our turn in the sun?
I hope they're right... There are a few around here but for the most part people don't seem to know what they are. I don't plan on selling mine but would be nice to know I could possibly one day come out ahead on it..
 My biggest problem is finding time to clean it and drive it.. You guys don't know how bad I wanna attend some events and meet Ya'All - just do not have time with our schedules and other commitments...
