I will keep it pretty much stock. I already have an aftermarket exhaust and I am hoping to get a chip from Haibeck next year to help with some of the idle problems. Other than that, I am hoping for a re-paint in a few years, budget willing.

This is a REALLY old thread, but I think it's relevant for everyone - especially me after the wreck.

Now that I have the green light to repair my ZR-1, I've been thinking that this is a chance to mod w/o fear of retribution. So if I had unlimited funds, I would:

Make the entire car a black/red combo. I'd keep the exterior black as is, but I'd put on C6 brakes and paint the calipers red.
I'd get Grand Sport rims.
I already have black/red 94-96 base seats for the car.
AND if we could get pics from that carbon fiber interior guy over on CF, I might be interested in changing out the gray center console with a red carbon fiber pattern

Under the hood:
I'd get Hiabeck's 500 hp combo (I don't think I could really handle much more b/c I don't race and I don't drag race, but I do love being thrown back into my seat)
Also I'd powdercoat the LT5 red - I think that would look really wicked with the hood open and red calipers with black Grand Sport rims.

As to what I'll actually achieve in the short term, I'm probably going to get GS rims b/c one of the rims was damaged in the crash. And I'm going to pay for the rest of the car to get painted along with the insurance picking up the tab for the front end. So I should have a nice black paint job by summertime (hopefully).

Other than that, I just want my Z back from the grave!

I wouldn't go with the GS rims if I were you, the offset makes them look terrible...now if you just wanted to paint the ZR-1 offset rims black, that would look cool

I'd get spacers... I really don't ahve much of an interest in drag racing so I really don't care about the weight of the wheels.

Steve

I'm sure you'll get another one. With the direction the prices are headed, it's a matter of when not if for you!

There have been some good deals lately.

How many Easter baskets did you hide this year?

Keith,

Thanks, Ron and Jerry mentioned that you were the supplier of the diapers so thanks for supporting the cause. I hope you have not dropped the standard and are only carrying 100% cotton. By the way, your Z still looks great.
