This 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is one of 3,032 examples produced for the model year and is finished in Bright Red over a red leather interior.
Power comes from an LT5 5.7-liter DOHC V8 mated to a ZF 6-speed manual transmission.
Under the hood is an aluminum LT5 quad-cam V8, which is paired with a ZF 6-speed manual transmission.
GM found that the LT5 required special assembly and contracted Mercury Marine of Oklahoma to assemble them before shipment to the Corvette production line in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Period publications recorded a 0-60 time of 4.4 seconds, and the car was capable of a top speed in excess of 180 mph.
On March 1, 1990 a GM run ZR-1 set several international and world records at a test track in Fort Stockton, Texas.
In April 2023 the car was inspected, a back-up light switch was replaced, the A/C was recharged, and oil was changed.
The C4 ZR-1 features a wider tail section compared to the standard model, along with a convex rear fascia.
The factory wheels wear Nitto NT555 tires all around.
Lotus assisted GM in designing the braking and steering systems, along with the settings for the ZR-1-specific FX3 adjustable Selective Ride Control suspension.
This particular car is optioned with a “bronze” removable roof panel as listed on the window sticker.
The red leather cabin features power sport seats with electric adjustment for the bolsters and headrests.
Factory equipment includes dual power seats, A/C, a leather-wrapped sport steering wheel, power windows/mirrors/locks, and more.
The factory Delco Bose Gold Series sound system has been replaced with a JVC Bluetooth head unit and Boston Acoustic speakers.
Shows just under 34k miles.
