Default Mind If I Hang With You Boys?

My first Vette was a '94 LT-1. LOVED that car. The ex-wife talked me into selling it because she hates Vettes (she calls them the "Car of the Devil"...just one reason why she's now my EX wife ).

I never forgave her for making me sell and promised myself I'd have another C4 one day. So here it is...1994 ZR-1, 36K miles. Mint condition. I just picked it up today and am driving back from LA to Texas.

I'll be here a lot asking questions!

Sure, just watch out for the dog, he's not fully housebroken at times.

Congrats on your ZR-1. Mike100 has a ZR1, he has done some wrenching to the LT5, C5 brakes, Hurst shifter, and more. I can help with all other issues within the frame, suspension, ZF and differential.

When are you going to lower it?

I was going to ask what you most current vette is was before this one..the LT1 car or newer?

Had you driven one before or just decide to go for it? The 94-96 interiors are the best- the trip will probably be pretty comfy.

Sweet. I love ZR1's, the stance being wider makes them look good. Does need lowering.

Checkout the ZR-1.NetRegistry. There is a forum there as well. Lots of Z-heads there as well.

Wow nice car. Congratulations! I saw your other thread in the open forum. So this baby is from CA. What are the smog requirements in TX? May I ask what you paid for it?

Thanks for all the compliments. I paid $26K and it's in mint condition. The ZR-1 registry is where I found it and I had never driven one but just knew it's what I wanted.

I'll post more after I get home as I forgot my laptop :ack/
