The ZR-1 was the first vehicle I ever loved but also the first machine that ever frightened me. I have danced with the; C5 Z06, LS6 CTS-V, 440 6-Pack Road Runner, Porshe Cayman S, C6 Z06, Testarossa, and the Turbo Buick, but I always come back to that first love.
Obiwan, I know what you mean. I too have owned many interesting exotics, including a Hemi Roadrunner, Porsche C4, Ferrari 308, a Healey 3000, Jeep SRT8, a 54 Aston, several XKEs and other British cars. I've owned a ZR-1 for more years than any other car. I thought I was done with ZR-1s when I sold my 93 in 2007. But I came back with WARP TEN in 2012. It is now for sale (any interest in a green/beige one?) but who knows if I will be back if and when it sells. Meanwhile, going to enjoy it and head for BG in May. --Bob
