the z-r1?

Well i was just watching the barret Jackson auction on tv and there was the 91 vett red, and it was a rare zr1 modle. It had a DOHC motor in it by chevy, it was a 350 looked idenical to a TPI but it looked alot bigger. like in intake and the runners and all of that looked huge. How rare is that motor? it said to have 3xx hp i think like 325. went for $30,000 with 22,000 miles on it.

That motor is pretty rare from what I know of.. and the ZR-1 is an awesome car.. i'd kill John just to have one.. :uhoh:

john? John who?LOL

John as in FormulaLt1.. you know that funny, but slow mod around here?

ya i know who he is, i was just joking.

I remember when the ZR1 Vette came out.......There were just a very limited amount of them available and dealers were selling those for $30,000.00 over suggested list. I saw one at a nashville dealer ship that listed for $60,000.00 + the $30,000.00 over - it had a price tag on it for $90,000.00 ( now thats just nuts!)

An old dude had a Corvette at a truck stop one night. Had ZR1 emblems on it and on the back said "By Berger"

Here's some nice info on it:

Didn't those vettes boast the ultra rare LT5 engine? GM's rare overhead cam setups. Those things are nasty.

Looks like a killer motor, but i dont think gm built it.

It was developed by Lotus and built by Mercury Marine.

I remember seeing a red ZR-1 around here his liscence plate read "Goes 180"

wow, ya that is the motor, you shold have seen that vett!!! WOW!! IT was all red, spotless! with 22,000 miles it had the z-r1 on the back, i think for $30,000 that was a STEEL!

I see a lot of cars going on the Barret Jackson for steals.

The Corvette engine by Mercury was also put into a special edition of their speed boats. "The Wet-Vette"

I took out a book at the library called History of Corvette. It has a picture of the boat, red with vette tailights haha. Nice speedboat.

The ZR-1 was considered heavy but even with the extra weight, It was a excellent sports car. It was also the vette that put GM on the performance map, offering the first ZF six speed manual transmission. The corvettes had a 4speed manual only around that time. Soon after, when the LT1 came along, they got the six speed too but remember it was specifically deveoped for the ZR-1.

i saw a yellow ZR1 LT5 at the corvettes at carlisle show last year. supposedly one of 11 yellow ones. weren't the LT5's rated at like 405hp?

I thought they were around 375 or 395. Never over 400 till the LS6. But I coul be wrong.

That Vette is bitchen. It would be one hell of a race against it.

In 93 or 94 the prior rating did change to 405 horsepower. They were one damn mean powerhouses and Rally, BRING IT!!!!
