I bought my car from the original owner who was 50 when he bought the car, so apparently it was HIS mid-life crisis and I just inherited it...but it's definately fun on a bun. But when I see the results here maybe it should be "Over the Hill" instead of "King of the Hill" =D couldn't help myself.

Wanted a ZR-1 since I started reading about them, and all the 'hype', in 1989 (I was 35 then). Finally got one twenty years later in 2009 (I was 55 then). Still have it three years later...and hope to have this ZR-1 for many more miles.....

I'll turn 70 this August but then, when I was 60 I started riding a motorcycle which I just sold. With two corvettes, 76 and 91 Z, there just isn't time to keep the skill sets up and I wanted the space back. Buyer is due to pick the bike up this weekend.

I thought about road track racing on track days my 91 Z but after seeing youtubes of the modern c6 or zo6 doing that and knowing mine would get around the track in similar things I asked myself if my reflexes would have been able to keep up with it at 29, much less 69, and answered that they would not have. I did take my 76 for four 25 minute road track sessions on VIR with 17 turns on 3.27 mile road course but the Z is a whole different thing with much, much more power and speed. Things happen fast on a track with the 76 but they happen MUCH faster with the Z on a road track. Pays to understand your limitations too.

I love my ZR-1 and would love to have faster reflexes. Would have been a better tennis player way back when too...but, it is what it is.

I'll be soon lowering one group and graduating into the most experienced group. No way to change my poll selection without great effort. Oh well.
