200K Mile ZR-1
Anyone see Steve Ahlgrim' s Steel Blue 200K mile ZR-1 in Corvette Enthusiast magazine? Many of us saw the car at Haibeck's it still has the original trans/shortblock with next to no wear on the liners.
Also has all of the original dirt in the engine bay......this is really great to see someone driving their car not only around town, but at the track including several one lap of america events. LGAFF 92 ZR1 #234 |

Re: 200K Mile ZR-1
If I recall I think the head gasket blew, apparently this car was far from pampered....run hard at the track.
Anyone know does the owner frequent here, I noticed he is in the 100K mile club. LGAFF 92 ZR1 #234 |

Re: 200K Mile ZR-1
He's in my Corvette club. Really nice guy who's always willing to talk about his car.
I asked him and he said he doesn't use this site, but he does have a ZR-1 Registry sticker on his car. He races his car at all of our track days and she's still in great condition with almost 200,000 miles. Definitely makes me miss my Z that much more when I see him roll up at my club's meetings!

Re: 200K Mile ZR-1
Any way to find out what kind of shape his chains and wearstrips were in at that mileage?
