Should I sell the FRC to buy a ZR1!

I found a 1994 ZR1 I really like and it is a steal. Should I sell
the FRC for the ZR1? Any opinions would be appreciated.

It depends, If you drive your vette alot the FRC is more practical and cheaper to maintain, If you drive it little and want a beast for the street then the ZR1 is it

By what I heard from you Rick, the ZR1 should be a great car in many ways

I had a 91 ZR1 and I loved it. And I love the updated interior on the 94 models. I just can't decide if I want to buy another ZR1 and only drive the thing when it rains like I did my 91 ZR1!
This 94 is totally stock 33,000 miles.Red with tan interior. And the car is local. But I do love the FRC and having a factory warranty.

I would buy the ZR1 for a garage queen. I would keep the FRC for a daily driver.

If I decide to sell the car it will be 26,000 firm. The car has a full GM bumper to bumper warranty that can be extended ANOTHER 5 YEARS BY GM! The car was bought from the original owner about 2 months ago and I have all documentation, right down to the tags that came around the transmission. The car now has 19,400 miles on it and runs perfectly. The original owner installed a Corsa touring exhaust system and that is all. It has the power drivers seat and single CD player with the Magnesium rim option. No HUD. Black with black interior. The warranty is good until Jan 06.

I would say the ZR-1 is cooler, but the FRC a better driver from teh standpoint of being newer and under warranty.

Yeah,
I do like having a warranty on a Corvette. But the ZR1's are just so few and far between in my area. It would be nice to have another one.
