For me 3 reasons:

1. I got my 1st ZR-1 in 1991. It was for me about exotic as a vette could be-all american sports car with British designed all aluminum overhead cam! this is sort of automobile equvelant to all conqeuring P51 Mustang (not Ford Mustang but the North American Mustang).

2. I have always loved big cube monster torque detroit V8s but missed high revving european cammers. LT5, in my book, represents the best of both world.

3. I bought the second one in 2000 because I missed the first one. Now, this car represents the best part of my years - 1990s. Everyday, when I open the door, jump in, turn the key and hear the LT5 come alive, it is 1991 for me all over again and makes me feel I am still 35!
