I've been a Corvette fanatic since I was a child growing up in Detroit. Always wanted a mid-year but at 6'6", I don't fit in those very well. I don't fit in a C4 very well either. My first Corvette was an '89. I liked the styling of the C4 and the fact that the car was becoming a true challenge to other european marques, it was appealing to me. Then GM upgraded the car to the ZR-1. It became one of those cars I promised to buy myself someday, but at sixty thousand plus, I couldn't afford that back in the day. Three Corvettes later I purchased my '07 Z06. Believing that car was truly special and unique, I thought I was finally satisfied with the ultimate Corvette. Then I found an Ebay listing for my ZR-1. Fully understanding the history of the car, I jumped at it for a reasonable price. Now I own two very unique pieces of Corvette history. Both are very different but a blast to drive in their own right.
