Safety Car
My next C4 will either be a super low mile clean LT1/LT4 car or a ZR-1. The very first C4 I ever drove was a 91 ZR so I guess I'm gonna be kind of selective.
what's it look like condition-wise?

Wow! It looks pretty good to me! Very clean for over 100k miles.

Unless you need a Z specific part it doesnt cost any more to maintain.

I'm jealous.
Due to personal health reason and having to place my wife in a Nursing Home, I had to thin the stable out by selling her Mustang Convertible and my 2002 Z06. I still have my '95 LT1 and '79 T-Top coupe.
Still, after a year or so, I want to add either a C4 ZR1 or a Mercedes SL series convertible to my stable. (Yeah, I know, what a big difference in cars. Both are great cars and underappreciated as being a "Driver's Car" and not just "basic transportation".)
So, enjoy that ZR1 - I drove one once and it really made me realize that my '95 was a "base" Corvette and what the "High-End Model" was like.

guys this has been the wildest ride i have ever had buying a car.after having concerns about the quazar z i talked to desert auto and they are the best people to deal with.i think he was genuinely happy to sell it elsewhere for more money.im still thinking about the steel blue z it sounds awesome i have always wanted a modded z like this and for the money its unbeatable.this morning the guy i was buying the grand national from said he felt bad about the deal and had talked to the dealer where he traded it in about selling it to me.they called me,very nice gentleman a genuine car guy.they are a ruf porsche and ferrari dealer.the fellow i had the deal with traded the gn in for a new ferrari.he said his boss even after explaining to him what it was did not understand why they took a 87 buick in on trade.it cost me a little more than the original deal but i ended up with the grand national 30k miles near perfect car still a very good deal.i have a low mile zr1 and a c6 vette i guess i wanted somthing different.i think my concernes about the zr1 may have been different if i could have seen the cars.the gentleman i talked to there is very knowlegeable and knows them well.i cant help but believe they were very well finished.and i cant help thinking the deal on either of the zr1 at this dealer are bargins.fred you should get the steel blue one back, if i had not recieved the call on the gn today it would be mine already.
