You really didn't do anything so bad, and I can assure you you can have your cake and eat it too. In May 1990 I sold my '88 Porsche 911 Targa and purchased a brand new red 1990 ZR-1 from my local Chevrolet dealer...the only one he ever sold. I had had Corvettes before, but this one was something else. Well, a year or so later I noticed that the demand for these cars was on the wane and the prices were dropping. I panicked, sold my ZR-1 very quickly and returned to Porsche ownership. I stayed with Porsche for quite a few years, but the thrill was wearing out. In 2011 I sold my 911 and purchased a brand new Corvette Grand Sport. What a great car! It seemed to do everything well. A few months after my GS purchase, a young friend of mine found and bought a nice, clean 1991 ZR-1. Once again I was bit the bug. Crude and rude as it was when new (and still is), I fell in love with it. After going in it to Carlisle last August, I made up my mind that I had to have another ZR-1...and still keep the 2011 Grand Sport. Once back home I was fortunate to find a 1990 red ZR-1--almost an exact duplicate of the one I bought new more than 20 years ago. Now there are two Corvettes in my garage...and I love them both. When I'm in the mood for rough and tough, I find myself behind the wheel of the ZR-1. When I want to drive in fast but refined mode, though, the GS is the car of choice. Moral of the story truly is you really can have your cake and eat it too. Enjoy your C6 because it's a great modern car, but get yourself another ZR-1 before prices go out of sight. These cars are so unique that once this crazy economy straightens out I predict they will achieve collector status and collector price. Get another one soon and enjoy it to drive. I know I do. Here are pictures of my two cars to tempt you.
