it is at a shop getting the new synchros and getting the cats deleted and an X-pipe put on,then it goes straight to the body shop to get all the odds and ends fixed and a new black wardrobe.an absolutely perfect and glossy black on black with chrome zr1 wheels will soon be home.thanks for all the compliments!when i get to really get nasty with the shifter and drag radials i am hoping for some 12.20's or 30's.

Log on to the National Corvette museum web site - you can get a copy of the original window sticker and the build sheet. If you do a Car-Fax you can trace the history of the car and see if the car was ever listed with any issues - such as - Mileage discrepencies, Totaled by an Ins. Co.. It will also give you an idea of where the car has been over the years.

I am sure that you will have a lot of fun with it. - It becomes a sickness - Just ask my wife !!!!!

brad , hi from another brad . before you get to nasty with the drag radials , you might want to ck the rear bearings and u joints on the 1/2 shafts . if they need replaced get the super spicer without the grease fitting . bill b shared they were the strongest ones he knew of . are you getting the et street radials .if so a good staring point on pressure is 20 . i have gone as low as 15 , but she gets a little squirely on the big end . do a real godd burn out on the first pass then just heat till they just smoke a little . doing big burnouts in them before every pass will only hurt your 60fts . also bill b. zf doc has some c beam plates that really help keep the car straight .have a great tie at the strip and be prepared to answer alot of ?s . like was that etc .young one dont know about our zr1s.untill you beat them
