Great video! As an owner of a 95 ZR-1 the car is truly amazing! The people who think "C4's are slow" are fools. The amount of people who i have left in the dust is amazing. Im fairly sure the ZR-1 in later years have more than 405hp. My but dyno tells me probably 440-450hp. Its a monster and if you want one, you better buy one before they are all gone.

Great video! I own a 95 ZR-1 and love it! I'm a 90's baby, so I had grown up idolizing them on my yearly trip to Corvettes at Carlisle. That extra wide backend just made them look so mean. I knew someday I had to have one. I finally had the means and found the right one in the rare purple color. With all the c4 bashing I had heard I was a bit worried that it would be a don't meet your hero situation, but one drive crushed that thought. What a car! Mine has 84K miles on it and still feels great. My dad has a C6 Z06 (obviously faster) and between the 2 I enjoy driving the ZR-1 more. People need to stop bashing c4's and just give them a chance. They are so underrated!

As Americans, "Zee" R 1 is how we say it. However, it's not unusual to hear Canadians use "zed" when referring to the letter Z. While it sounds different to us, he's not wrong for saying it. It's similar to differences in American English vs. British English word spelling, for example: color vs. colour and favor vs. favour.

OK, Just wanted to add a small comment here. Your C4 LT1 looks like it has Bilstein shocks on it, they are yellow, the adjustable shocks were black. So it looks like that car had been modified to delete the F45 suspension, so, you would not have felt any difference in the ride by switching the ride control switch. Otherwise, I am right up there with you on the Zee verses Zed.

Back when this car came out GM actually owned Lotus. Lotus had a 4.8L engine and they just took that design and increased it to 5.7. I believe that the only thing that a pushrod 5.7 shares with the LT5 is the rear main seal and I think the rear of the blocks share the same bolt pattern for the driveline mounting.

The 90 thru 92 LT5's were 375 hp.

They had to do a recalibration of the fuel mapping as the LT5 ECM's are a speed density fuel calculation.

The C4 cockpit is as close as one can get to a F16 without joining the military. C4 (for me at least) is "technically" the first "front" mid-engined Corvette with the motor being placed entirely behind the front wheel axles. "If" the goal of mid-engine mounting is 50/50 weight distribution for the purpose of handling (93 LT1 Coupe 51.5/48.5) should it matter how the weight distribution is achieved be it front or rear motor mounting? C8 is of course a "rear" engine-mid engine design. A 175.885 mph average 24-hour endurance record was set in a 1990 ZR1 Corvette on a Texas track nearly eight miles long. Remembering that fuel stops and driver changes are logged at zero mph the ZR1 had to lap for 24 hours at a higher speed than 175 MPH (a documentary is available on KZbin).

I appreciate your enthusiasm but my C6 Grand Sport 6 speed manual has enough quirks as it is. The C4 would drive me nuts. GM has a way of half baking everything they attempt.

Put the 93 anniversary vette vs say a modern day 3.6 v6 Camaro, who wins?
@jeffspicolli593

Vette. Google tells me 14.7 seconds for the quarter-mile for the 326 HP 2017 Camaro and 13.0 for the 1993 300 Hp LT1 Vette. My guess it's the phenomenal off line traction of the Vette and better aero but if you have the cojones the Vette will walk away from the Camaro with a stable 162+ mph top speed.

as a Mechanic for a GM Dealer in Toronto for 15 Years the Optispark was a CRAP Design !!!!!!!! GM was CHEAP !!!!!!!!!! they had the DIS on the v6 - 2.8 , 3.1 Engines and the CERV 3 had DIS Ignition - They Could have Made it DIS for the V8 . Even the 1984 c4 with CROSS Fire Throttle Body Injection ACTUALLY Made more HP than the 5.7 TPI Injection if the ENGINEERS SPEC a LESS RESTRICTIVE LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD . at the DEALER a Actually Seen a CALLAWAY c4 with the 5 Star MAgnesium Wheels and the BLACK Intercoolers on a TPI Engine we Even had a c4 Callaway LM Race Car in the Showroom for Display with the BIG BUG Headlights .
