To drive the ZR-1 or not??
 

I have a business trip coming up where I need to drive to Oklahoma City, OK. I am considering taking the ZR-1 for this business trip. I have the choice of my 3 cars, 2013 Buick Regal GS, ZR-1, or my Jeep CRD. I'm down to the Regal GS or the ZR-1. It will be mostly a highway drive at this point.

The one point is that I will be driving by Stillwater, OK on my wait to OKC.

I love long interstate drives in the ZR-1

Couldn't agree more...

If the weather is good reward yourself and drive the Z

It appears you are talking about 350 miles one way......take the Z....put it on cruise in 6th and you be looking at 25-30 mpg :thumbsup:

THEE BEST long-haul cruisers I have ever ridden in! No car I've ever owned was as comfortable...well...at least after I replaced the "skinny-butt" 90 sport seats with base 95s (94-95 sport seats = OK too!).

Unless luggage won't fit, or unless you're needing to pull a trailer or the like, Take the Z! (You'll get great 'smileage!!')

It will be the best drive you'll ever have. It's your own personal video game on the road. But like all cars, your butt will be sore after 5-6 hours in the cockpit. Take some longer pit stops.

Hey! I like the skinny 90 sport seats, most comfortable seats I've ever had in a car. I agree, the ZR-1 is a wonderful highway machine, great traveling car. Definitely take it...as long as you have confidence in it!

Some of us drive twice that far to BG or Carlisle every year with no issues. These cars were built for road trips. I'll admit it took me a few trouble free road trips to over come the fear of breaking down. Now, I don't even think about it. My biggest fear now is a flat since I don't carry a spare. I do have excellent roadside assistance, though.

Take the Z. You won't regret it.

I have driven mine to AZ a few times which results in a 800 mile round trip plus local mileage in town. These trips were one, to visit the ZFDoc, then the others were due having no other car available-- my DD had a transmission issue and was at the dealer for warranty work, and that my C6 has no spare tire...

Got up to 140 mph in fourth once and I even got rained on and saw snowflakes. It was comfortable.
