Hello everyone, I am a new member and the proud owner of a 1990 ZR-1,since last week. It has been neglected and sitting for about 5 years so I have my work cut out for me. I'm sure I will be asking a lot of questions along the way. I have drag raced all my life and have a shop to work out of. Looking forward to meeting you guys and learning all about "The King of the Hill". Actually putting a battery in it today just to check the status of some of the electrics, will be a couple of weeks before I actually try to start it. It seems all in tact with no Bubba engineering, it cleaned up well, so now time for everything mechanical electrical to be gone through. Engine looks good, no signs of outright abuse other than sitting unloved for so long. I intend on bringing her back to nice daily driver condition and let this beast loose like she deserves.

Re: New member
Thank you, it's going to be an adventure, can't wait to hear this engine come to life. When these cars came out they were way out of my range so when I found this one even though it needs some work I jumped on it. Can't wait to take her out for a cruise.

Re: New member
Welcome, is see you came over from CF. Good folks on both forums but ultimately this is the source for everything ZR-1. Looking forward to hearing about your rebuild. Did one recently myself.

Welcome, and congrats! Mine was in a similar situation when I rescued her from a "luxury" car dealer where she'd sat for who knows how long. Car would barely run, and often wouldn't start. Once everything was sorted (thanks to this forum and Mark Haibeck) it's been nothing but fun.
