Vehicle Description
Throughout the Corvette's storied history Chevrolet has produced a
plethora of special edition Corvettes but many of them were little
more than stripe and decal kits. But, for Corvette aficionados,
''Z'' ''R''- ''1'' has always represented the pinnacle of Chevrolet
performance.This particular 1992 ZR-1 (#437 of only 502 crafted),
is fast, quiet, classy, and didn't need to be plastered with
stickers or huge badges to make its point. Developed jointly with
Lotus and Mercury, the Marine-built 375 horsepower LT5 V8 engine
nicknamed "King of the Hill", is "The most exotic inspired engine
ever assembled into a Corvette by Chevrolet during the early
90's".Watch Video of this ZR-1 CorvetteMore PhotosThe result is a
32-valve, 16-injector, 4-cam powerhouse that utilizes a trick
dual-path induction system to create even more All-American torque
(370lb-ft). The power plant, on fire-up, defaults to 8 fuel
injectors with 8 more injectors, for a total of 16 live injectors,
activated with the flip of the Power Key (which lies forward of the
German-engineered ZF 6-speed manual gearbox's shift lever).Traction
is enhanced with a tuned FX3 double A-arm front and independent
rear suspension which features switchable electronic traction
control (ASR), driver-adjustable active ride control: tour, sport,
and performance to keep all that power both productive and
manageable. Torque meets the pavement through a set of killer super
wide 315/35/17 Goodyear's at the rear that are contained with
special ZR-1 factory-sculpted and installed rear quarter panels
that gracefully start at the leading edge of the doors and actually
make the rear bumper cover 5.5 inches wider than the standard
model.A copy of the car's original window sticker displays the MSRP
base price of a standard 1992 Corvette as $33,635, and the ZR-1
performance options was another $32,328 for a total of $66,513.
Some dealers added a second sticker plus applicable taxes, which
certainly tipped the price scales. However, this was more than made
up for by advanced performance and top-notch build quality,
creating one seriously capable sports car that shows well and
absolutely blisters the road! Advertised 0-60mph in 4.3 seconds and
