i recently purchased a 1991 black ZR-1, i am impatiently waiting on it to be delivered from arizona. I have wanted one of these ever since 1989 when i saw it in a magazine. are they really that fun?! I can't wait!!!

Welcome to the Brotherhood of the Beast!
You've come to the right place.
There's more detailed knowlege of the ZR1 here than any where else.

Post Pics & details as soon as you can.

To answer your question, yes indeed, ZR1's are all that AND a bag of chips.

There is no other car like them.
Get in it and 'Drive it like you stole it"
You will learn "PERMA-GRIN".

Again, congrats on your purchase.

thanks for the replies. i cannot wait for it to get here, a little about it: the car is a one owner, 132,000 miles, black on black with chrome rims, came with the complete zr-1 buyers kit, all service records, and carfax/nada checks good. the suspense is killing me, i found it online of all places, and for an awesome price, i wish i could have test drove it first but i am having an independent inspection done there. btw any az. members?

OH YEAH THEY ARE FUN. i liked the car so much I bought another just in case I had to have work done on her. There is no sound oor feeling like these cars @7000. I am thinking of buying another just to make sure I always have my baby there for a ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

guys & gals are amazing...info..and just everyday support...
none finer...post pics of your car through..photobucket or another online..
provider...as we like to see whatcha got..
a couple of warnings...

1. pressing down hard on the gas pedal..may cause
a rush of adrenaline...along with a perpetual smile
and a roar like no other...along with the smell of
burned rubber....do not be alarmed as this goes
hand in hand with the ownership of the "Beast"

2. repeat after me....i will not modify this car...
