[QUOTE="Cdn Z06 Mike, post: 17363, member: 87"] OK, having owned both cars simultaneously let me offer up my advice. The ZR-1 is an amazing car. The mods to the car are done by the right people but you need paperwork to back it up. Were all 16 injectors replaced or just the primaries or secondaries? Haibeck is the king for having it chipped. Marc H really knows his stuff. The problem is that ZR-1's like to be driven and driven hard. My old ZR-1 ran best everytime I came home from the track. The issue is 2 fold with this car now however. Finding someone smart enough to actually work on these cars and secondly finding parts. I'll come back to this one later ..lets move on to the Z06 As for the C5 Z06...whats to say other than un freaking believable. The car begs to be beaten and just keeps going with incredible ease and is so economical that it gets better mileage than many so called economy cars. Any GM store can work on it or get parts for it. HANDS down this is the car to own if you intend to drive it. The $29K price for the mileage seems steep to me however so keep looking. Many deals yet to be had. The ZR-1 is more for show and makes a great conversation piece unless you have the time to dedicate to the car to maintain it. Ensuring you can find the right products ie ethylene glycol antifreeze so you don't eat head gaskets etc. Plenum gaskets if you need to service vacum lines, injectors etc. White Racing is virtually one of the few sources of parts available in Florida and you pay for this service dearly. I suggest you park your seat in a Z06 and let the car impress you. I sold my ZR-1 because I realized after I bought my Z06 I would never use my ZR-1 again. Its not to say the ZR-1 isn't a great car, its just that the Z06 is a great car and more with less cost and hassle. I miss my ZR-1, I miss my C5Z, as both killer cars. Good luck regardless of your decision. [/QUOTE]
