Makes no sense to sell... - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I've got garage space for the Testarossa if you want to spend more time with the Z

I came to the same conclusion. The cost of ownership here in FL is peanuts, so I'm keeping mine and driving them when I can. I only wish I could drive them more!

I drove mine to work everyday while living in Florida. But I had reserved free indoor parking. The Z was 25 years old, so we both retired that year. The Z has 82K miles. Just replace the worn out items like brakes, tires and batteries. Enjoy it. Life is too short not to enjoy every day driving a Z. You might collect a few tickets once in awhile, so what!

My 91 Zr1 has "morphed" into my everyday driver.

My new "occasional driver" is a 2015 Challenger Scat Pack. It is a ridiculously fun car and the ZR1 is just a tiny bit cooler.

Hi, Adam. I remember you from Rx7Club. I don;t post there anymore, though I still hang out with some of the guys locally and still love my FD. My wife and I have been in the Caribbean for the past few weeks trying to get away from the cold. Came back to an expected 16 inches of snow Tuesday!

Hi, James. Thanks. Believe it or not I just finished some serious upgrades to the Rx7 and it is going in for a bare metal respray next week. I still absolutely love the car. All the refinements were just to make it nicer. Power is still from the 350 wheel hp NA 3 rotor, but the motor is much better now. Smoother. Better idle. Better sound through the new exhaust. (Sorry to go on about it...)

Well, since it makes no sense to sell the ZR1, I decided to improve it a bit. Had the engine painted. Put on new A-arms and bushes. New shocks. So, I'm keeping it and building a separate garage for the motorcycles...
