Default Re: Looking to get into my 1st ZR1

One common thing I see in threads like this is.... ZR-1 or any decent to nice C4, you need to understand these are hands on cars. You will need a factory service manual. If you ( and I am not saying you are- this will answer future questions like this) plan on learning the car and be able to work on your own car, if you send your car out every time an issue pops up, it will never be cost effective and you will not love the car. I am not saying they aren't great cars, on the contrary, they are but at 30 years old, these cars need regular maintenance and lots of little small items all the time. I personally believe you fix and issue when it occurs, the worst thing to do is let a lot of little issue pile up and when you go to fix multiple items at once, it makes diagnosis and repairs much harder than it needs to be. The ZR-1 is a GEM in the car world and one of the most under appreciated vehicles EVER. NOTHING beats opening the hood of a clean ZR-1 LT5 engine, nothing even comes close to that awe inspiring view of the C4 ZR-1 not the C5.C6,C7, C8...period. JMHO
