Vehicle Description
If you are looking for a very correct and original ZR1, then take a
close look at this one. Black on Red is always a striking color
combination and this car would be a big hit at shows. Also, the C4
Corvettes set new standards of performance with improvements in
handling and of course, the ZR1 engine. It's hard to find a better
value in a sportscar purchase these days. Enjoy the ride with this
low mileage, super clean example.
Known for their sleek, modern look when they were introduced, these
cars still look good today. This one still wears it factory
original Black paint which has obviously led a well-loved life and
still looks great. The lines of the car are smooth, graceful, clean
and speak for themselves. The only badges are the checkered
flag-bowtie on the hood, rear quarter and back deck, and Corvette
along with an ZR1 badge on the rear bumper. A tinted glass rear
hatch was a nice new feature on the C4's that made access to the
interior storage much easier, and blended perfectly with the body
lines. It also makes it easy to stash the Targa roof this car came
with when you want to let the sun shine in. Finish out the good
looks with a set of the very desirable "sawblade" alloy wheels, and
you have a car that you might enjoy washing almost as much as
driving.
Almost. Until you open the door and set in those awesome seats.
They are works of ergonomic art upholstered in rich Red leather.
They are comfortable, supportive, and power adjustable in every
direction possible. Sitting in the driver's seat feels like being
in the command center of a formidable machine. Which of course, you
are. A steering wheel that both tilts and telescopes will let you
find that perfect position and feel. An electronic dashboard with
digital display has graphics for speed, RPM, and other critical
engine functions. Controls for lights, cruise, and wipers, are
right at your fingertips and easy to use. Of course, there are the
expected modern conveniences like power windows and locks and an
automatic climate control system that will keep you comfy, as well
as the factory FM/Cassette/CD player. There is a valet mode switch
insuring that only you will be stirring that 6-speed manual
gearshift around at speed and the padded center console makes for a
nice armrest.
Pop the hood and you will find that exotic and precious LT5 engine
nestled down in a neat and clean engine bay. It is an all original,
low mileage, numbers matching engine that will attract plenty of
attention with its' four cams and 16 runner intake at the car
shows. But driving it and letting this engine stretch its legs is
what will ensure its collectability amongst driving enthusiasts.
The power on this one flows back through a 6-speed manual
transmission which provides an even greater degree of driver
involvement. Significant advances in handling, braking, and ride
were also introduced in this car starting with a new chassis. No
longer a strict "body on frame" like its predecessors, GM developed
a "uniframe" that ties in the windshield frame, and rear portion of
the floor pan, as structural members. Then, a completely redesigned
independent suspension was developed, and all new brakes, with
finned aluminum calipers were installed to make sure you could stop
on a dime. All those advances work through 315/35/17s in the back
and 275/4017s in the front mounted on those lightweight sawblade
wheels.
This car is the total package. A low mileage, original and correct,
super clean ZR1 in a great color combination. Come on down and
check this car out. You'll be glad you did.
