Default Destroyed zr

Hi all,
i have been a member of this community for 16 yrs. I bought my zr in 04 and rebuilt it with some awesome parts.y super charged beast won trophies is every show in the east. I kept this car beyond pristine with only 23k on it. I decided it was the end of an era and asked advice on this site of a selling price. I found someone who was as passionate about the z as I was, he even wanted my zcar plates. We agreed on a more than fair price but if I had the extra room I would not have sold it. Unfortunately, here are some of the before and after photos of one month of new ownership.

It was a nice looking ZR, shame it wasn't kept under control. How's the driver doing?

He he and his friend walked away without a scratch, the z is a very very rugged car and does protect well.

Lucky boy, looks like the reinforced A pillar saved his life. I'd hate to roll my ZR, my pants would need washing.

Sickening.

Was the buyer an experienced driver? I know fog and deer can present very difficult driving concerns in that part of the country. Glad to hear nobody was hurt.

I I would like to buy it back and I will part it out the car in person was incredible as you said one of the best ones you've ever seen seriously not to brag it was the best one I've seen. Going down the road there wasn't a head that didn't turn and that was to this date. The reason I sold it as I bought the collector's edition c7 Corvette and that doesn't get as many looks as the z got
The r stands for roadster.

I bought the 2004 touring roadster, color Silverstone and the interior came burnt orange. Then carbon I carbonfiber the interior, supercharged it, redid the suspension, the hood was from Japan so forth and so on. 23k in mods.

I'd hate to see that. Damn shame. Glad the owner was ok, but I'd try to buy the carcass.

i used to make good money buying totals from the owner for their acquisition price +1k. They got to keep all the stereo stuff for the cherry on top.
