Will our ZR-1s be classics? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

LGAFF · 05-15-2010

Took the 92 out for a spin, as I sat at the stop light, I catch something in my review view mirror, its an older couple and the old man is looking at me spinning his index fingers....wanting me to light up the tires.....I took the corner and lit them up.....he passed by later giving me a thumbs up, I could tell his wife was not pleased with him

.

5 mintes later there is a trailblazer behind me, the guy is taking pics on his cell, he then pulls up next to the car and is getting side shots!

I think its safe to say that the 90-95 Z definately holds a place in history.

Fun stuff

i totally agree . every time i take one of my z to the drag strip, between rounds there is allways at least 4-10 people around the car asking all sorts of ? especially if i make a very low 12. sec pass

I've had the same thing happen at work. People will slow down and snap pictures of it. I'm not so sure if they are admiring it or getting ready to steal it.

Hmmmm.... All things considered, I think they were a classic the day they rolled off the assembly line. It just takes some longer to realize it than others.

Most don't know what it is they're looking at. But, now and then someone does recognize it is a Z and their eyes pop wide!

Missed ya at the shindig.
