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
I agree w/ everything said!!!
