Yes it is. Have always loved the C4, and especially the ZR-1. Figured they've got to be close to the bottom of their depreciation curve at this point, so seems like a perfect time to buy. Plus while my 13 is a lot of fun (especially at 800HP with the blower), it's actually not as much fun as the 91. The 91 ZR-1 is more raw and a pure driver's car (no electronic nannies other than ABS), plus you can hammer on it without immediately being at "go directly to jail" speeds. At this point I'm thinking of either selling my 13 or detaining it down to around 600-650HP and making it a semi-daily driver.

Same here, my 08’ is now the DD. But the Z is pure and raw, to me a more real drivers car. Missed to old Z from the day I sold it. Good to have that feeling back.
Enjoy
Merry Christmas!

That's awesome, thanks for the pic! I love the color.

Damn that's a beautiful color!!!! Welcome back to the Beasthood lol... And I agree, having a 91 is a pure sensory experience. No nannies or aids. How was that BB exhaust on the drive home?

LOUD. I'm almost glad one of the speaker amps was blown and crackling as it forced me to use my Bose noise canceling headphones running Pandora off my phone. Otherwise I'm not sure my ears would have survived the trip. For around town, it will be great, so I'll probably keep it. Will keep an eye out for a Corsa or especially B&B Fusion though.

Wow lol. I guess they haven't fixed that drone issue....but man those tips just look so good. Best looking exhaust for our cars.

I agree, looks awesome. And for around town, or drives less than an hour, should be fine. Even on longer drives, it would be ok, but you'd end up having to shift to a different gear to avoid drone (i.e. down shifting to 5th going up a hill instead of staying in 6th).
