Default When did you buy your ZR-1

When did you buy the ZR-1 you currently own?
Does not count if you no longer own it.
If you own more than one you can make multiple selections.

Might be interesting to pole a second question. When did you first WANT to buy one??

Wanted one ever since they came out. I remember reading some car rag and the author said Lotus designed a top-end for a 350 SBC lower. I later read that was actually a consideration for a fleeting moment, but fortunately the bean counters LOST that one!

I was bitten 9 years ago in 2005 when I got my '90, and I was bitten by a bigger meaner bug in 2012 when I bought the '94.

I think they are phenomenal cars.

But isn't that like, "what year did you first not want to be a virgin" ?

Got mine, 90 #2282, in August of 08 with 3512 miles on it, 28000 now.
Vette #5, 1st one a 69 roadster in 78, a 79 and two new C4s 84 & 89 they're gone
now and the Z's the best of the lot!
I'm the 4th owner. 1st guy put 160 miles on it and traded it for a
Viper and $. 2nd owner drove it a little bit over several years. The last
guy traded it, a 2003 roadster and $ for a Will Cooksey
edition Z06 after putting about 400 miles on it. (I've been in contact
with all of them or their families) The dealer sat on it in
his showroom for quite a while, couldn't sell it and finally "fire saled" it to me.
I plan on keeping it forever and have instructed my bride not to
"give it away" when I shoot craps (hopefully no time soon...)
OBTW: my brother in CA has an identical car he bought new in 90,
I guess it's a family thing?

That's the magic phrase there Scott - means you'll get MOST responses about ones that are no longer owned.

How do I know? I tried it yesterday - "(NOW on the boards, that is...) .

All I got is a couple of 'Would be's' (would be, except for WHAT???), and color discussions. And old records in need of update...

No big deal - it's all in fun.

Oh yeah - I got the one I have NOW in '12.

I bought my first Z in October 1991. Then I bought my current 94 in 2000. Time sure flies when having fun!

I bought mine by accident. I was looking for a 'vette I could afford. Instead I found this one. NICE!!!
