> [@theblue](#): > > I’m blown away by the ZR1 hate. I remember being a teen in the early 90s when these came out and some dealers had them marked up to $100k. 400hp was insane power and the thought that one day these would could be purchased by the common person especially with how few were made was crazy. I’m pretty blown away by it too. My friend has a 95 he bought with 1.3 miles on it in the early 2000’s. Never titled (until he bought it.) He has a spare motor and transmission. You wouldn’t believe the $$$ he spent on it, and then the money he spent on the Dymag wheels for it too. I think a lot of the hatred would go away if you were to actually be able to drive one of these cars. It’s truly a masterpiece in every manner. ---

a very good friend of mine’s dad has one of these that we had out maybe 10 years ago. we got caught going 232kph on the 403 in it. Fun times. this is great if the guy is going to preserve it and drive it sparingly. They will certainly go up in value at some point so it’s not a bad investment. ---

I did some reasearch on these before i bought my W12. I wanted something neat that I could track and tinker with to get more power, but those engines are pretty well setup and don’t make big power compared to what is out there now. I was seeing high mile ones for low to mid teens a couple years ago. ---
