Feel bad about prices of ZR-1s? I can make you feel worse...

Actually not so much when your car is a two to three million dollar car and this item helps it sell, maybe at a higher price. Or maybe a 275 GTB/4 NART Spider around $25 million.--Bob

BAT went from being a great site with some good deals, to Porsche central and home of the overpriced vehicle. Here's some shining examples (mostly Fords oddly enough, might just say something about ford people...j/k)

1990 F150, 30k miles, 2wd, 6 cyl. Sold for 9k...

1986 F150, unknown original mileage, 15k

1986 Bronco II 2.9L, 60k miles, 10k (I have an identical one rusting out in the back 40)

I can't speak to that item specifically, but I can say that on a weekly basis things sell on BAT that you could literally go purchase on Ebay at the same time, for a fraction of the price.

Porches and Corvettes seem to sell for pretty close to market value.

No worse than having all the ‘right stuff’ for
an NCRS Top Flight. Just a bit more expen$ive...

Thanks a lot for making me feel worse. I just bought my car last summer. I felt pretty good about the car and the price I paid. I got more car for less money than I paid for my first ZR1 back in 2003. The whole reason I bought the car I did was I wanted the most H.P. I could for the buck. I probably could have bought a C5 Z06 that had been heavily modded engine wise with higher mileage for about the same money. But I like the 90-95 ZR1's.

Sorry to make you feel worse, but you do note there is a good reason to get one--great performance for dollars spent (although I can assure you it is possible to spend much, much more for additional performance!) Plus, the engine story and engineering are amazing and the cars are very rare--how many to you see at shows? With my '93 and 95 cars I rarely if ever saw others like them. And there is certainly a terrific group of knowledgeable current and former owners here to help on anything that needs it. --Bob

Hey ZWILD1 - I have 91 Turquoise #135 (368 CID - DRM 500 Car).

They probably didn't even clean the paint guns out when your car was painted.


Taking it to Bowling Green next week. Another 91 Turq. will be there as well.

All it has is a paint job. I don't get the grand sport thing thing.

It's more than a paint job

I am a huge fan of the grand sport. At least that one. The lt4 is a really REALLY good motor. My boss picked up a 96 with one in it and it scoots.

No disputing that but any of out ZR-1s would crush it on any course anywhere, anytime. I think its the low production numbers that make the difference.
