Although only the 375 HP version of the LT5, it may not be able pass a new Z06, but it will keep up with it all day long! These cars are still a bargain in terms of the "HP per Dollar" ratio, but lately the prices of surviving ZR-1's are beginning to go up after years of flat lining.

My first car was a 96 vette black on black convertible. 16 years old with that beast omg I was in love with that car like the batmobile. Honestly it is till this day one of the most amazing cars I've ever driven in my entire life. The way that it would corner so flat really is unmatched to this day in my opinion anyways right now I'm daily driving a C63 AMG with the 6.2 L V8 550 horsepower at the crank with a tune and some other bolt ons and the only reason I'm driving that car is because it reminds me of the way that Corvette moved in the way of Power Band and just overall feel but a no way shape or form does it corner like that and to be honest with you I have an experience that car that Corners like that car did. Now I haven't driven any of the new Corvettes or anything like that so I don't know but I've driven M3 M5 Audi's RS models pretty much anything with four doors and over 400 horsepower and I've never come across anything that was even close to the way that Corvette handled. I think I want to start looking for a ZR1 C4 in the next couple months just to test it out just to see what it's like I kind of missed out on that when I was younger because I didn't know how to drive a manual. I do remember my dad test-driving one with me though and it was simply Irresistible the exhaust note was amazing. I don't understand the whole thing behind people saying that American cars don't handle well because to me the Corvette was the most amazing handling car at ever driven. I will say though at 16 years old it was way too much car for me I crashed at several times until I turned 18 at which time I got a gmc sierra and had several of those. Moved to mercedes at 21 and then to an amg at 26. I wouldn't mind having another c4 though thats for sure. Might test drive a c6 Becuase those or gorgeous as well. C7 look isn't my favorite c6 is better imo

One a red one from a brochure. The second is of a 90 Indy pace car. The actual pace cars for the race were the only convertibles made. The unibody wasn't strong enough for consumers and street use. Anyway the school car was one of several cars made. Some say 3, some say 5. I doubt that this one was an actual pace car from the race, but that kind of makes it more special. This one for sure had a regular 3.1 v6 under the hood. While the actual pace cars for the race had 3400s. Certainly been crushed by now :/

They see a C3 next part next to a C4 ZR1, especially a 1990 without that rounded front nose, and they see the lines of the corvette car and how it evolved from the C3 to the C4 so beautifully.

So I took it for a ride to make sure that after the tune up, It drove as good or better then when it came in to the shop. I found that the car never came off the center carb. I called him to see if that was some thing he would liked put to stock he said yes So I made it so all 3 carbs opened fully. After that it would burn the tires in all 4 gears at will. When I gave him back the keys I told him he would need to relearn how to drive his cart. All I heard was tires squealing when he took it for a ride.

C4 have always been underrated imo. 400hp is nothing now but back in mid 90s z28 with 285hp was king thanks to LT1 spanking mustangs all over. LT4 with 405 would have kicked everyone's ass. what's funny is my 2013 Hemi Ram came with 385 hp and now with new tune, it have 381hp to the wheel and 422 at the crank with just re-tune and no bolt ons. I will never under any ZR1 and Grand Sports. good report

I had the oppurtunity a few years back to buy one of these ZR1 with low miles for 20cad about 15k usd at the time. Kicking myself in the ass now.

Hey bro, is 1995 the "best" model year for the C4 ZR-1???? Also, did it only come with a manual transmission????
@rickgarrett95845 жыл бұрын
nikemac84 between 1992 and 1995 are the good ones cause those are the ones with 405 hp. And yep they all came with manual transmissions!

C4 ZR1 performance is similar to a base C5?
@kaldarleifar4 жыл бұрын
It´s faster than a base c5, it´s similar to a c6 or a Z06 c5

I thought the rear tires were 315mm. The wheels may be 11", but not the tires, like you said.

No way somebody would spend 27k at that time and not notice. The dealer would have shown him plus having a different size and cut key only fitting that, cmon. Who was the first friend the easter bunny lol.

Put headers on it and a better free flowing exhaust and it will sound awesome. Port the plenum, injector housings, and the heads and you will have a beast of a car. Or just do a stroker with cams and hold on for your life.
