Get ready to puke: Mecum ZR-1

[Polo-1]

They run hot side 210-214. In town will have turn a/c off at stop light. Welcome to standard rad. in 405hp car.

Oil leak... It's just marking it's spot... No Z06 zone

Seem like I am hooked on this car already thinking of repainting and doing engine over, glass, top wow sounds like a lot of money

define overheated. stock gm fan temp doesn't turn on until 228 degrees or so, but that can be programmed in the chip to come on sooner (along with the settings for more hp). hopefully you don't have a chip and that can be remedied along with the normal cooling system service.

Congratz on the ZR-1. Can't think of a better combo to have in the stable than that combination of Zs!

"Doing engine over"...What did you have in mind?

Congrats on your new toy! I have one question, how big of a gun did you use?....just so I know what to use if I ever get some spare cash and want to get another Z.

I think you got a smokin' deal....but then I like the color. Good luck with her and I hope you get a bad case of permagrin.

Oh, almost forgot.....Welcome to The Brotherhood of The Beast!

Jerry,

Congrats on the car again. Marc Haibeck will be great to work with in helping sort out the "new" ride. Glad you made it to the site, these guys have helped me a lot with my car. Now I know next year I will have a partner to attend the Gathering with!

A new DeWitts radiator was installed in my ZR-1 just before I acquired it. I have no high temp issues and it works great here in hot & humid Florida.

I also dream/plan on sending my car to Marc Haibeck one day. It just seems to me like that's the ultimate upgrade for our cars today (for the non-do-it-yourselfer). I've read a few posts about it on here but mostly looked through his website. Would anyone who has had their ZR-1 upgraded through Haibeck share their experience, thoughts, drive comments, etc. about their ZR-1 for us here? I'd love to learn more about it. Thanks!
