Good choice.. Looks great man! Both the RotoFab and Cold Air Inductions intake don't require a tune. So if you got a warranty and are avoiding a tune for now (like me) then those are your best bet. I personally have the CAI and love it. No CEL and I've had it for approximately 1k miles. For your spoiler, check out ZL1AddOns. They have nice wickerbills. Also consider joining the group ZL1 Exclusive on FB if you haven't yet!

Congratulations! Welcome to the club.

Congrats! Lots to be said for a "get to know you" long drive home.

Nice car! I drove with a friend to Jacksonville, FL from STL to get my C5 Corvette and drove back - was awful. This time around we flew there, were picked up by my salesman, and drove back - was wayyy better.

Congrats!

camarodude87 · 10-09-2017, 07:55 PM

Yeah 9 1/2 there and 9 1/2 hrs back was brutal. NEVER AGAIN lol

RobZL1 · 10-09-2017, 10:10 PM

Congrats! I did the same thing a month ago- rented a car and drove from GA to PA, bought the car from jayno20, dropped the rental and drove back. 12 hrs up on Friday with terrible weather and 10.5 hrs back on Saturday.

35 total hours round-trip, and about 1350 miles. Would I do it again? For the right car, sure, but no further away than this. This was pushing the limits of how far I'd go (although the ride home was awesome).

I love white, btw. Looks awesome on these cars with all of the black contrast.

I got a good laugh out of the picture with the painter's tape. I did the same thing! My first stop was the local Walmart for 2 rolls of 3M blue. Spent 30 minutes in the parking lot taping the front bumper and the rear quarter panels in front of the tires. LOL!

lbls1 · 10-10-2017, 07:47 AM

Congrats. You could not ask for a better ZL1; 5th gen with low miles and with Recaros. I'm a little spoiled in that the dealer that I bought my ZL from was a measley 2 miles from my home, but even with that there were complications (novice to the manual, etc.). Good luck.

Olddudesrule · 10-10-2017, 09:32 AM

Nice find, and beautiful 69! Love the resto-mod!

owhite3003 · 10-10-2017, 10:08 AM

Love it, nothing like seeing a first gen and a 5 gen ZL1. I have the same except I have a 68 that I just picked up.

KaBoom1701 · 10-10-2017, 10:46 AM

Congrats.

Great story. I remember driving my ZL1 back from San Diego when I got her. Was so excited.

Ok dumb question. I thought ZL1 exclusive was a Facebook group? They sell parts? I am not on Facebook, but maybe I should
