The '90-95 ZR-1 actually was "like it" when compared to the '09 ZR-1 sir....Lamborghini was the fastest car in the world between those years and was making 492-523hp, C4 Z 375-405hp, those were exclusive people only numbers back then just like 638hp was/is today. Top speed of almost 180mph was also far above an ordinary sports car of the time....if you had the C4 ZR-1 you were KING until something really expensive could make you sweat a bit, just like today.

@@retrocompaq5212 Yeah makes sense considering they only made it for one year and it was *after* the production of the ZR-1 ended. I guess a guy looking for a fast Corvette in '90-95 only had to wait for year/several years on a car he couldn't have had an idea was even coming. GM ordered the production of all Corvettes ceased in '96 so your silly point is just a waste of time to argue further. If not for Mark Reuss who disobeyed GM Central orders and kept his team working on C5 development there wouldn't be a Corvette today anymore. All C4s in the '90 were a loss to make/sell, both the GS and ZR-1 were killing GM financially while the base model was what barely kept the model years going, until '97 when the C5 revived the whole brand and brought it in the world stage of motorsport with team Corvette Racing.

I love pretty well all Corvettes, but the C6 ZR-1 is my hands down favorite. Was never really in love with the clear window on the hood. Didn't hate it either but I always found it kinda goofy. I just loved the fact that they could use old school pushrod technology and build a car that could compete with the best in the world at a fraction of the price of most cars that would get near it, performance wise.
