Welcome man, nice story. That zr should be no problem pedaling , maybe a trade is in your future. Personally I like the computorsystems on the c-4s but the crossfire is a white elephant in my mind.

Dude, the problem is that they just now started repro-ing C-4 parts, and the ZR-1 parts are few and far between. My main issue has been fuel pumps (i.e. plural). It's a special unit. I've purchased two in the past year. First one was a used unit (< 10 hrs supposedly). Fried it in 3 months. Bought another one that was brand new (I'm thinking this is the current issue) is fried. I'm very tired of nothaving the tools in the garage to read a FREAKING car's brain. I own it! It doesn't own me! I'm about ready to take it out back, with a 5 gal jug of unleaded prem, & torch it.

I've never, ever had an issue with a non-smartcar. Ya know, my rant sounds pretty stupid....

Oh - and BTW, I've been fortunatre not to have to pay the orig price for fuel pumps...$2K

Oh - second edit - the Z is over 500hp, and still gets 26mpg on the highway when it's running right. And, if the ari temp is over 95 degrees and she ain't sittin still, she'll peel the cetner lines off the road... It IS THE FASTEST, MOST AGRESSSIVE car I have ever owned/driven.... Stained my shorts the day I bought her

Gary,
If you even need a place to stay let me know, as long as you can bring me an ORIGINAL case of cold ROLLING ROCK

Actually, ping me, I may have room during one of the show weekends down here, if you don't mind 300 pounds of dogs (2 Great Danes)
