32valveZ a Q for U!

[Paul Workman]

I see you have both a C5 Z06 and a ZR-1 (we bought our ZR-1s about the same time, I noticed). I'm not in the market for a Z06, but am curious what you like especially about each, and how they compare? Do you ever get tired of straightening out the roads in Colorado? (Or have you already straightened them out by now?

I call Colorado my adopted home. But, one thing about livin' down here in the flat lands is the DA resulting from living at 600' elevation; makes deez Zs run like scalded dawgs!! But, what gives me pause is the thin air there in CO. If ever there was a place to consider twin turbos or even a supercharger, I recon that would be one place to start.

Anywayz, just curious (on both counts). Love the pix of your cars w/ my "home" in the background!!

Hey Paul,

Sorry I missed this thread... been busy doing the "Holiday Family" thing. We have a bunch in from outta town.

To keep it short and simple, my ZR-1 is more like my hot rod kinda car. Its not as refined as the Z06, the accessories dont work as well ie a/c, stereo, etc. etc. Everything works, but its 18 years old now... you get the idea. I love the car for its body lines, LT5, overall nostalgia and it being more of a "drivers" car if you will. It takes more effort to steer and stop the ZR-1, but I like that

The Z06 is a great car overall too. Its a blistering fast car right out of the box. I did a few things to mine, headers, CAI, computer tune etc. so it really moves well....and stops well! I have it lowered a bit also, so it handles like its on rails. Its nice to take the wife out to dinner with heat & a/c, stereo working nicely..... but if someone wants to "play" on the way home, the Z06 is more than likely to hand out an *** pounding!
