I know exactly where you mean. I work in Wexford on Rt. 19.
Glad you found the problem so quickly. If you are like me, I enjoy working on the car as much as driving it. My car is mostly stock but I do have Marc's chip to run full time secondaries which I am very happy with.
Too bad we missed the Northway car show featuring Corvettes a few weeks ago. It would've been cool for the 3 of us to be there.

I see your PM, thanks Kevin.

That sound like a good plan to budget for stuff ahead of time and maybe pick up parts when they pop up, before i need them.

I actually don't mind working on my machines. Since I don't need it as a daily driver (unlike my 93 when I had it) I'm far more inclined to work on it myself, for the challenge and exercise, and the satisfaction.

That would've been great. Got out to Quaker Steak & Lube in Cranberry last Sunday, which was fine, but something a little bigger would be great, and other ZR1 owners would be a treat.

Hi Jeff. Wooopsie, forgot to mention it has Black interior. A/C is Electronic, hopefully refrig charge is all it need to be back up to snuff. Targa top is the Blue tint. Targa needs replace though, it has a large stress crack. All the interior stuff appears to be stock otherwise.

As far as mods go, I'd like to get the HP up to 400, just to say she has 400, and well, more is better! Otherwise I'd prefer upgraded suspension (maybe; not sure what you can do with the electronic adjustable suspension yet) and brakes at some point, but I'll take my leisurely time with that I think.

you can do coilovers or revlave the fx3 neither is cheap but the stock suspension is pretty good. Brakes you can do any number of things from c5 or c6 stuff to heavy aftermarket stuff. The first thing I'd do is get a chip from zr1specialist.com
