95 ZR-1 #244 bought - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

RUSSELL · 03-20-2014

Well guy I bought a two owner 95 Z from a local guy who bought the car with around 2500. miles on it. Today when I pick it up its shows less tahn 8500 on the dial. The problem with it is I'm not sure it a keeper. Carter has already told me to keep her locked up and under a cover. But with three other vettes 1 91 Z#1501 and a 09 Z06 it hard to pick and chose witch one to drive. With the miles that are on the car is it a car to hide away for a rainy day and yes i know that a car is not a investment item. So do I drive like its ment to be driven or maybe turn around and put her back up for sale. Either way shes a pretty Z blk on blk with a few tasteful mods done by Corey Henderson.

Simple question to answer....... Drive it and use WOT frequently.

Sure sounds to me like one not to beat up with those kind of miles.
You've got others for that.

If I were you I would drive it like it's meant to be driven since it has already been modified.

That's a big problem !!

Use it well .

FWIW, I would drive it. I use my '95 for club events, weekend drives, The Gathering and the Woodward Dream Cruise. I even autocrossed it last year at the Gathering and had a blast!.

My car has a few more miles, at 16,600 but I drive and enjoy it every chance I can.

I'm in the driving camp. I also bought a 95 blk/blk with 3k miles it now has 16k and I have fully enjoyed every mile I put on her. My only regret is that I cant drive her more. If it has wheels it was made to move

Drive it and enjoy it or save it for the next owner to do so.

RUSSELL · 03-20-2014

Sounds like I'll drive her show her what she been missing all these years.
The good thing about it is now I can go crazy with the mods on my 91.

Thanks for the replays and insight.
