Played phone tag with the dealership today to inquire about the status of the injectors, we were unable to connect with one another. After doing more research, I am feeling the car is priced too high even though they came down from 20k to 17k. I found ZR-1s in much better condition with lower milage for just a little more money here on the Registry. I work a lot and have a significant amount of call, makes it a challenge to travel to see a car. I prefer to find a car locally that I can easily get to so that I can see it in person.

One of the main reasons for all the noise at cold startup is the design of the oil filter,the filter is designed to retain oil and one brand of filter that works the best at this is the Bosch filter and I use only Amsoil,these 2 together seem to quite down the cam chains. The car in question isn’t too common as far as color goes so if the car works out it might be worth looking into if it can be had cheaper,I’d shoot for $15,000 and see what happens. The car over all looks to be in good shape,the finish on the motor looks really good from what I remember from the photos.
