Okay, so I am sure that a lot of you guys in your lives have bought a car and loved it. You changed things here and there and made it your own. It became your baby and it brought you joy every time you drove it. Well that happened to me too. I found a beautiful blue 2010 ZR1 with 5k miles. That damn car made me smile just looking at it. After a few tweaks here and a few modification there I felt I made a great car even better.
I am also willing to bet that many have for whatever reason decided to sell their baby. The decision is obviously never easy but you tell yourself its the right thing to do. That also happened to me. For me it was cash money. I owned the car and with only 8k miles, I was able to sell it for far more than I had in it. Even though it made me feel like I was abandoning my child, I convinced myself that the money was more important and that maybe down the road I would get something fun again.
Now I don't always claim to be right and I am confident enough in my manhood to admit when I am wrong. Let me be clear, I was way wrong on selling that damn car. LOL. I was sick to my stomach watching the new owner load it into their trailer. I got even more sick as they drove away and I walked toward my empty garage.
It took just about two weeks till I had enough of the heartache. I then decided that "down the road" was actually right fucking now. I then started my search for another ZR1 and not just any ZR1 but a Jetstream Blue C6 ZR1.
About a day later I came across an ad in Texas for what was probably the cleanest and nicest ZR1 in the country. A gorgeous and moderately modified 2011 with 5,085 miles and in what is in my opinion the greatest color for these cars - Jetstream Blue.
It was stored in a bubble, yeah I know, a fucking bubble LOL. I have seen those things but never knew anyone that actually used one. The guy was super cool to talk to. Some of the mods are a full Xpel wrap, headers, cam, heat exchanger, upgraded intercooler bricks, 14% lower, dual catch can, E85 kit, Lingenfelter 710 kit, OEM wheels and six Forgeline wheels with tires. 19's all the way around and an 18" set of rears.
The car is perfect as is but like anyone with ADD, I need to do a couple little things to "make it mine". Over the last two months I have started to stock pile parts. Custom Ported Blower & Snout, 103TB, Synergy Intake, 1300 injectors, coolant expansion tank, Prospeed Dual Fan & Shroud kit, Morimoto headlights and tail lights. She made 730 whp on E85 as it was delivered to me. I am looking really forward to seeing how it does after this next round of mods.
Ohh and God Damn the chop from the cam. I have never had a car with a cam and now I see why so many love it. The fuckin sound alone is worth doing a cam!!! LOL!!!
Cheers and Happy New Year to all my TCG buddies. I look forward to seeing you guy and gals at the get togethers this year.
