1994 Corvette ZR-1 - Driving the V8 Four Cam King of The Hill (POV Binaural Audio)

[@PaulsPlace]

C4 Corvettes are so underrated. I believe the engines in the ZR-1 were manufactured by Mercury Marine!

[@TedwardDrives]

You’re 💯 correct!

[@Blackout_1692]

Additional info on the engine manufacturing for the ZR-1 C4 GM found out that none of their plants could build the LT5 V8 so they got Mercury Marine to build them , and they actually stuck one in a Boat MotorWeek has some footage of it in one of the reviews for the ZR1 C4.

[@obomasinladen]

Most jdm “sports” cars from the 10 years following the c4 are significantly better drivers cars. Lighter, better handling, more powerful etc. I think c4s look iconic, and I want one to dump on some regamasters or werks but to say they’re underrated when they by and large drive like shit compared to their ever so slightly more modern jdm counterparts is cap to me. Same with c5. After having recently driven one, sure they’re cool but just about any non American sports car of the same time period has a significantly better driving feel.

I own a 95 ZR-1. Looks just like this 94 you drove, black on black. For what i payed for my ZR-1 i feel like a criminal...It was soo cheap for what you all get. The LT-5 really steals the show. I still have not been in a car yet that does what LT-5 can do, magic. The LT-5 power band is fantastic, power every where. The real party trick is the 60-90 mph. You can catch SOO many people off guard its not even funny. Not to mention how easy it is to drive fast? Even down to a "hard" launch, just get the rpms to 2000, let the clutch out and hammer it. The cars fat tires and suspension do the rest. Also it corners?? If you want a 90's sports car that can do it all and "beat" 95% of the 90's sports car out there....This is your time machine. I say 95% because i truly believe the F40/F50, Diablo, 911 turbo, NSX, GTR, Supra or whatever other car you think of the 90-95 ZR-1 will keep up or completely beat its competition. Sorry ill shut up now. I love my 95 ZR-1. Just buy one already!

[@frederickschulze8014]

Even the C8 corvette continues the reputation of amazing performance for the price. For well under $100k , you get a mid-engine car that does 0-60 in under 3 seconds? That's unheard of. I've been heavily considering a C5 Z06 for a while too now, just because they are such a bargain for $20k. Almost all Corvettes are great performance for the price.

[@MrNeon2002]

I also own a 95 ZR-1 and second everything you said. The ZR-1 was one of the top performing cars of the 90's. Straight line wise it even hangs with a c5 Z06 on the highway. Like you said 60-90 it punches way above it's weight. People like to unfairly bash C4's, but it was a good platform and the ZR-1 was a legendary car. Most people will never understand the ZR-1 magic. You have to drive one to get it. Long Live the King!!!

[@Itsjamilagain]

The drive is nuts, even on the LT1. INSTANT throttle response because of the pushrod motor. Even faster than most modern cars. The late years also had the German ZF transmission which is even better than the T56 on the C5. Feels like a bolt action rifle when you shift. Edit: clarify - ZR-1 was DOHC, but the rest were pushrods.

[@dicky7600]

1994 design was much nicer than the earlier ones.

[@Itsjamilagain]

@@dicky7600 Yeah they made the change in 92. Almost a totally different car. Way more power, different transmission, different interior. The people who say the C4 is slow are talking about the L98 models pre-92.

When these were introduced in 1990, Morrison Motorsports took one and set 5k km, 5k mile and 24 hr FIA World Land Speed Endurance records with it (they also ran an L98 with it for much of the time until it was shipped off for an auto show I believe) . Those records were only broken years later by a one off, purpose built prototype race car, and to the best of my knowledge still stand TO THIS DAY for a production car... I always find it hard to believe people make videos about this car and never mention that.

If you find a nice one they make great daily drivers for peanuts. Most out there today are pieces of crap passed from one guy to the next etc.

[@PontiacPOWA]

I myself own a '90 ZR1 and your impressions are spot on. "I wish i had a runway" is exactly how I feel when driving it lol. Also based on how often you're shifting I think this car you're in has a 4.10 rear gear swap. The stock 3.45 ratio exacerbates the feeling of wanting a runway, especially when you're going close to 110mph at the top of 3rd gear at 7200

[@gordocarbo]

Had 4.10s seemed like the perfect gear. Got its best ETs shifting around 6200. They can rev higher but only make noise/heat that high

[@kylec4zr1]

Thank you for giving us a few blasts and revs of the LT5. It makes a sound that is so… manifique. This car looks like it has been loved by a fellow ZR1 enthusiast, with the updated side gills, B&B exhaust, a shorter rear gear, and I’m guessing it probably has a chip to delete the skip shift and default to full-power mode upon start up. All tasteful mods that make this an even better version of itself.

Corvette as fastest car in the world 30 years ago sounded plausible. I mean The Callaway Sledgehammer was bonkers enough to do it. But The McLaren F1 does 250 mph and gear heads were stunned because it didn't seem possible. Especially with early 90's technology. This ZR1 is a drivable car that can be used for a daily. The Dodge Viper was a sledgehammer whose job was to try to kill you. The ZR1 is almost modern in its drivability. Also-405 HP in 1994 was the moon. 300 HP was a big MAGIC number. 400 HP was jaw dropping. But that V-8 burble is just the best!

I remember in 1993 when the stock corvette finally got 300 HP instead of 230 like they had untill 1992 , the stock model in 93 was just around $32K. The ZR1 was a $60K dream , 0-60 in 4.1 seconds. Back then , that was very fast , but again $60 K in 93-94 was like $100 plus in todays money. Today for $100 K plus you can get the new rear mid engine vette with all the bells and whistles . These days , there are $50k cars that will do 0-60 in 4.1 , but , the C4 ZR1 will always be a legend , the king of the hill.

[@bb62bb62]

Some quick comments: 1. The car is a 95, not a 94. 2. The 12 quarts oil system is NOT a dry sump. The first Corvette dry sump was with the C6 Z06. 3. The top shown in the back was either a blue or bronze clear tint. 4. I feel the same way about the car as the driver. It's very quick, very responsive without over-the-top unusable power and is certainly a better sports car than the Callaway C4 (though cudos to Callaway for doing something to improve the Corvette's power back in the late 80s).

I would come out a couple of times a week and take it down to 2, red-line all the gears to 140 or so then pull off the next exit, I recognized one, then repeat the same progression back to the rotary and home and put it back in the garage, next to my dad's DB Mark III and 911. Fun memories, I sold my second one a '91 and bought my '69 vette I mentioned in an earlier note. When I first moved to California in '95 I lived on the peninsula in Marina del Rey, ironically on Ironsides and parked my vette in our communal garage next to a black on black 95 ZR1!

[@1983jblack]

The Viper had 2 more cylinders and later distanced from Corvette with more power and dream car styling. Chrysler knew it and decided it was too good to keep as a concept or styling exercise. However, the ZR-1 then was what the Hellcats from Chrysler are today - Insanely powerful, has the hardware to keep them on the road and price that won't quit

[@LateNightCable]

The Viper gets talked about because it really was just a crazy concept car turned reality. A wild ride for sure, but not nearly as practical or polished as the Corvette was by then. Also, the ZR-1 was a package for an otherwise standard Vette, not a separate model as such. It was definitely the understated choice.

I don't know why but this will always be my favourite car look wise 🙈 And I'm from Italy, yes our cars catch fire, but they look good until they mould 😆

Perfect V8 sounds matched with a manual. What more could you ask for!

[@matthewmoorehead1979]

I’ve owned an ‘85 coupe before and I now own an ‘07 coupe. C4 and C6 are definitely my favorite generations. ❤😎

These things are supercars.Very quick and very able.

The first original Need for Speed was the closest I’ve come to such a car! And man did this video make some distant memories pop up! I didn’t have any idea of the impact it had back then but it sure was my favourite video game car! Black, manual, the cluster, wheels… oh my, now I really want one, and it’s probably way beyond my budget 😊

[@cesaraugustomari3676]

Hehehehee I was thinking the same ... I played that Game a lot ...do You remember the recorded videos of every car in the game?

[@eirik_halvorsen]

@@cesaraugustomari3676 No! Actually I had forgot, until now 😀 Well, can’t really remember them in detail, but yeah. It was an awesome game back then! Almost simulator like.

[@grubinski]

That thing sounds awesome, and so quick to rev for downshifts.

The C4 is judt the right size for a v8 sports car! The feeling of sitting on the rear tires is phenomenal.

[@m3chan1zr]

I miss my C4. I had a 94 collectors edition with the 6 speed

[@SepticEmpire]

I was just looking into corvettes my man just read my mind and made a vid Tedward get outta my head man😂

[@Itsjamilagain]

Hey Tedward. C8 ZR-1 expected to be twin-turbo'd LT5 making ~850hp. They will be making an even HIGHER model called the Zora, more than likely hybridizing that same engine for over 1000.

Ayyyy action auto boutique. I bought my S7 from Olek

[@lenisbeltran4888]

My dad's friend has a 88 corvette convertible automatic

[@TechTubeHDReviews]

I drive a Base model 1985 and I absolutely love it. Great car that still makes great torque. But man, I would love to own a ZR1

[@farmfromjakest8836]

I just bought a 1992 base model, it’s cool to see the differences between the two versions other than just the power.

[@civrev]

This was my Dad's mid-life crisis car.

[@TedwardDrives]

He nailed it. This is the perfect car for the job

[@rockbailey8516]

I own a 95 polo green over tan, Haibeck chip, Billy Boat exhaust that sounds wicked good and Doug Rippie coil over adjustable set up. Only light mods. About 450-460 HP. Car is a blast to drive. 185 MPH all day long. The engine is absolutely bullet proof. The only knock is they could have done better with some of the interior pcs. But this is a true competitor to the very finest cars of its time. An unbelievable bargain if you jump on a good one now.

[@mr.butterworth]

THIS is IT! The C4 ZR1. Phuck anything after, this is everything classic and modern that a Corvette should be, and nothing it shouldn’t be. Plus, that beautiful thoroughbred of an LT5 V8.

[@innerlightfilms]

I agree!
