My honest respect to everyone who is daily able to drive the beast on the snow (w/o traction control). For me and my style of driving was enough my old bmw.

You’re saying you have to wait until the build date in your area/country to be considered a classic? You should be able to register it in January 2020 as worse case!

When I had my first ZR-1, it was my everyday car.
What fun that was! The license plate said it all 1FUNZR1 However, one of the funniest things was trying to get up my very steep driveway at the time, while it was snow and ice covered. Eased out the clutch, Gave it gas, Tires began to spin, Traction control kicked in, TC kept reducing rpm. and reducing,,, and reducing,,,,,,,,,,, and red,,,, oops, it finally just gave up and stalled the car. Turned off TC Tried again, got all of the way up the driveway. Nose into the garage, then the back end began to move to the right. Stopped. Eased it back out of the garage. Shut it off. Applied brake. Exited car. Started to walk away................ Turned around only to see the car sliding down the driveway right out into the street. Was very glad it did not happen while I was climbing out. Parked it diagonally at the end of the drive, and then went inside smiling at the cars effort. Although it was fine on the road that day in the snow, even with the GSC's. ![]() Marty |

Then I have to pass two inspections. First is about technical condition. The second about originality of parts (the car shall be stock from 80% and at the same time stock in three of five parts group - engine, wheels, body - incl. interior, transmission and suspension - incl. steering). My car is (I guess) 99% stock. The big pros of the classic car status are no emissions bullying from the authorities (Europe went crazy about it), no need to EU light adjustments and very low insurance - around 100-150 USD per year.

I suspect the 30 year rule, which is generally the case in Europe, will start driving some demand for ZR-1’s next year. Like our friend juni78 here. The 90’s next year and so on.

In Norway they just changed the rule for tax free import from 30 to 20 years, so ZR-1s have been pooring in through the year. No doubt they have gained popularity due to this, and prices locally have gone up a lot.
