Re: New ZR1 owner experience.
Thanks, Paul. I am likely to do just the porting and headers, assuming that cams are going to give me that lopey idle. I want it to sound fairly stock and really don't need or want more power than...

Re: New ZR1 owner experience.
Livin' in the 80's... Congratulations on the new Z. I quit the liter bikes some time ago, but can remember doing 150 and saying that's enough for me. Ever. At 69 I'm limiting myself to half a...

Re: Value of ZR-1
With reasonably nice or even really nice ZR1's going for $10-15,000 it almost makes sense to buy a second one... :)

Re: Photoshoot with a Crystal Red ZR1 cousin
First, the car looks new. Second, I hear a lot about "paint correction". Isn't that just a mix of old-fashioned buffing the paint out really well and painting and sanding any chips, etc?

Re: Value of ZR-1
Eventually, various cognoscenti will see its value. It remains a remarkable outlier among all Corvettes. I described it earlier in facetious terms as a bastard, but in many ways it is a bastard...

Re: Value of ZR-1
You mean interesting use "of" the term bastard? I kind of gather you may be trying to insult me, but your sentence construction and conceptual framework is so screwed up, it's difficult for people...

And, if I didn't already own one, I'd certainly buy one now.

Re: Value of ZR-1
Sometimes the forums prove the adage that you shouldn't cast pearls before swine...
Perhaps the value of ZR1's is sinking like a stone. If so, I suggest selling for $10,000 while these pieces of...

Re: Value of ZR-1
Actually, it may be the way things work. When prices get as low as they are now, it makes no sense for anyone to sell unless they are desperate for money. I think we've hit the point where most...

Re: Value of ZR-1
Again... We listen to ourselves too much. If sellers believe all they can get is, say, $15,000, then that's what they ask and maybe they take a bit less even. If sellers would ask $30,000 and not...

Re: Value of ZR-1
Pricing is a funny thing. The prices are way down. The answer is that no one should sell who absolutely doesn't have to sell. If no one or very few people sold at the current levels, prices would...

Re: New Dodge Demon
I think you'd have to be twenty-something and still masturbating for sex to want one of these things. I've driven some 6 and 7 hundred hp Mazda Rx7's. They are absolutely no fun. Unless some...

Re: Makes no sense to sell...
I want to make something clear. I built this car as a sophisticated sports/gt car that would have a great-sounding, linear rotary motor, but one that would be completely reliable, because it's NA. ...

Sure. Here's a picture of my new exhaust and a video of it running. I've been spending a lot of time building a new version of my exhaust and refining the engine and tune.

I had an 850 6 speed as DD for 10+ years. Absolutely beautiful, great cars. I see you have one of the very few CSI's. That's a keeper for sure!

Re: Makes no sense to sell...
So, if selling makes no sense, I figured why not repaint the engine, replace the shocks, A-arms, and bushings... Now, it makes even less sense to sell.

Not to be rude, Henry, but you don't know the market. Whether you have seen them selling at this or that point or not is pretty irrelevant, isn't it? And, if you have a good condition E30 M3 for...

Re: Toyo vs. Nitto
The R888's are my favorite tire. Hope they don't screw the pooch with the R888r replacements. They are in an entirely different (better) league than the Nitto's.

Re: Makes no sense to sell...
The thing is that the fundamentals for the ZR1 being highly collectible are all there. It is a bit odd that they have apparently fallen in value so much. My 1990 M3 went from about $22,000 in 2006...
