C4 / ZR-1 Owners?

I agree 100% with Z51 Jeff.

I have an '85 and just purchased a 90 ZR1 last week with about 20k miles. Once I got the bad ethanol fuel out of the secondary system, it seems to run perfectly. So far I have only found one very small dink in the paint. I love the C4 style and the bells and whistles of the ZR1 over the 85 are great (Cruise, PW, PL, etc.). Not to mention the feeling when you nail the pedal at 60 and it jumps to 100! I bought the 85 with 30k on it and now have about 50K miles. I own em' to drive em'. Just like any hobby, it costs to have fun. Well worth it. Just joined a local club and looking forward to learning more.

I have had (way too) many cars over the past years, including of note (and in some sequence) 1984 (x2) C4, 1985 C4, 2005 C6 Z51, 2007 Z06, 2004 Comm Edition C5, 1991 highly modded red ZR-1 that foolishly traded on...a 2008 Z06, 2008 (x2) Dodge Vipers. I just recently sold the latest Viper and, guess what!? Am back in a 91 Polo Green ZR-1. Am more satisfied with this car, than any of the others OVERALL. There is just something about the clamshell hood C4, and the balance of the car coming out of turns, and, with the ZR-1, the SOUND of the 4 cammer. The smoothest attached-to-the-motor-via-the-bellhousing-as-it-should-be ZF 6 spd. The Lear seats. The smells from that era. The strange gray/orange buttons. The high door sills. 17" wide as Texas wheels. Weird in some ways, maybe, but manly in the truest sense of the word: it is simply MARVELOUS.
