Re: ZR-1 Alaskan Adventure Travel Log
Jim, welcome home. I don't remember you posting a single issue with the car. True?

A lot of the 10,000 miles were on regular gas. Premium was just not available in many places. The car ran fine. I wasn't driving hard, but there was no problem with the gas. Jim |

Next question. You had some beautiful roads. What was top speed on the trip?

I fully expected to see the car pull into the lot and as you got out the doors, hood, trunk and fenders would all simultaneously pop off the car, a la The Blues Brothers when they arrived at City Hall! --Bob
