Welcome to the forum. First things first. A properly cared for ZR1 car will last well into 6 figures on the odo before major repairs.
Sun will affect any car regardless of type of paint. Even the new paint with ultraviolet inhibitors will at some time need refurbishing. My Z has 56,000 miles on it and the paint is better than some new cars. Of course its been garage kept between runs and cleaned and polished regularly.
Delam is an issue with this type of windshield but mine is still original and hasn't started to delam yet. If it was in the sun all day long i'm sure it would show delam by now.
As for injectors...I can't understand why someone would go to all the trouble of replacing just 1/2 of them. The 90-92 cars have injectors that don't like ethanol fuel and eventually start to short out the coils over time. I had 4 bad injectors (1 primary, 3 secondary) so I replaced them all to save future work.
The guys on this forum take very good care of their cars and it shows in the pics Ive seen. Welcome.
