Brian White shared this VHS tape with me and I converted it to digital to share with the LT5 community. He wanted it to be somewhere everyone could access it.

Thank you :) Much appreciate it ! I understand somewhat video conversions and resizing so if you could send the original digital piece to me (through file sharing) I would try to resize it(HD) and maybe reduce the audio noise on this, it sounds as a mono audio channel so I would make it Stereo too.

Cool video, I have owned #2822 1990 ZR-1 since May of 2018. 74k miles and she had been sitting for many years. I turn my own wrenches and had a lot of maintenance to do. Fast forward to May of 2020 she got tags and now 6k miles later she screams. With the help of many on the Registry and the shop manuals I have learned a ton about this work of art. It's an engineering marvel, the records this machine set is a testament to the LT5 and the C4 platform. No other generation has accomplished what this car has. She is still King of the Hill. Thanks for posting, very cool. 👍👍🏁🏁

I’m the second owner since year 2000 of #2899 1990 zr1 love that car many trips and trouble free years with it.

This was so epic! It really makes me proud to own one. I am forever grateful to GM, Lotus, and Mercury Marine for creating a world class supercar.

I own a '91 ZR1. Yep, it is everything that has been said. I also have no intentions of ever selling it.

Hello everyone, i’m thinking of purchasing a 1991 ZR1 Here in Australia I have located one with 4000 original miles on it. The question is being on the other side of the planet and parts availability for the engine how reliable is this engine and what are the main issues people are having with these engines if any? Thanks in advance, excellent video

[@LTG1930]

Engines are generally bullet proof. Fuel injectors and pumps are probably the most likely thing in need of replacement. Jerry’s Gaskets In Oklahoma Has most of the parts anyone would need

[@scarringtonzr1]

Parts for these aren’t hard to source but you have to stock up on a few things that aren’t at your local parts store. I have traveled extensively with mine over the years and I always had a complete hose kit, water pump and gasket spare serpentine belt that would all fit in the little storage compartment behind the seats. Also I have a spare starter and alternator on the shelf just in case. Alternator is a pretty common part but for peace of mind the rest of the parts I would recommend. Good luck by the way I never needed anything on a trip. Just prepared.
