Congrats...that's the best car yet from your list!
![]() You will have an awesome trip back, I suggest driving North Through Zion National park then back...you will never forget it and it's not that far out of your way. Just make sure you leave Vegas fairly early in the a.m. It is the most beautiful drive I've ever had in my life! ![]() |

How are the 4.10's? May I ask what MPH/ RPM's you are at when in 6th gear?

Well, finally made it home yesterday. I must say, I really love the ZR-1 on the open road. This thing is definitely at home on the open road at speed. I typically cruised at about 82MPH (turning just a little over 2K rpm), and averaging 25MPG (and that was with several sustained runs at 90-100, and blasts to higher). Also, I must say I actually like the valving on the 91 FX3 better than the FX3 my 92 had. There seems to be a much more noticeable difference between the settings (at least from what I can remember). The softest setting is a little floaty, but much more comfortable for long highway cruising or for rough roads. Sport tightens it up nicely and eliminates any "float" without being too jarring, and Performance should only be used on the track.
I am having to refine my driving style a little as the lack of low end (at least compared to my LT4 Firehawk) requires downshifting much more when wanting to get speed while cruising. Plus I keep having to remember that it revs to over 7K rpm!! |
