- 5% tint all around and 50% on windshield

Nice to see some other ZR-1s in the Jacksonville area. You may be the nicest one here. Mine is a 91, but it’s a work in progress. Congrats on the finished project. They’re never really finished though are they?

Love it, especially the HRE wheels.

I just purchased a 1991 ZR-1 and this gives me all sorts of ideas.

Any additional pics you can post up like the interior items?

Regards,

BillMac

I will say my 91 ZR-1 just arrived and I was surprised how "quiet" it was. Maybe the noise from the Cicadas here in Virginia are drowning it out.

Can you post a video so we can hear how the exhaust sounds?

I'll try to get some video running it on the track... Its the farthest thing from quiet lol. Long tubes, no cats and that corsa exhaust... cold start sitting in the garage is almost to loud and will definitely wake up every neighbor within 100 yards
