Comments on My First Time Behind the Wheel of a ZR-1

When we initially went to view the car, Tripler took it out with the owner as he had far more experience with the C4 configuration having raced them back in the late Eighties. So, it wasn't until we picked up the car today that I actually got behind the wheel for the first time.

O.k. no eye-rolling please, but I literally burst into tears as I headed down the road for the first time and started putting her through the gears. It was the sound that got to me more than the power, etc., it was wonderful. As I noted in my first post we have been working on getting a Z for 3 years and there were times when I never thought it would happen.

On the highway it was magic. It was everything I thought it would be and more. It is so easy to drive. I am blessed that I am one of those people who can just jump behind the wheel of pretty much any vehicle and feel comfortable, but this was amazing.

No doubt about it - this car is a beast.

I Love It!!!

Welcome! The Z is a fun car for sure. I just kinda ended up with mine in a trade for a 71 SS Nova I had. Not much research, just a "Hey would you trade your Nova straight up for this" kinda deal. Glad I did for sure!
Wish I could go to BG this year (Or any year for that matter :cry: ), but lack of $ and time off work means not this year either. Would be great to meet you. I have some good friends in Keswick, Ontario. Haven't been up to see them in 4 years...

Re: OUR NEW BABY BOUNCING Z
 

Welcome, that's a fantastic car you have there.

Congratulations indeed from another Canuck. Hope to see you in Bowling Green in May; it's a great way to meet fellow ZR-1 owners and share the passion.
