minor blemishes visible upon close inspection. The windows are
clear and crack-free; the lights are in great shape, including the
pop-up, revolving headlights. Car rides on Nitto P275/40ZR-17 tires
in front and P315/35ZR-17 tires in back, surrounding factory styled
aluminum wheels, 17x9.5 front and 17x11 in back. All body panels
are straight, the engine bay is tidy and the battery looks new. The
sheet-molded compound bumpers look as good as the rest of the car.
Inside, the saddle interior is in good condition for its age with
its sport bucket seats and matching carpet. The instrument panel is
intact with a four-spoke steering wheel, complete with driver's
side airbag. The door panels look good, as does the center console,

years ago, GM bought Group Lotus, the UK-based consulting,
engineering and performance car builder. Corvette administrators
approached Lotus with the idea of co-developing the World's Fastest
Production Car based on the C4 Corvette. The new partners designed
a new engine to replace the L98 V-8 found under the standard
Corvette's hood. Dubbed the LT5, it was an aluminum-block V-8 with
identical bore centers to the L98 but with four overhead camshafts
and 32 valves. The LT5 featured a unique air-management system to
give a wider power band by closing half of the 16 intake runners
and fuel injectors when the engine was at part-throttle. Upgraded
steering and braking systems were also part of the package and
Lotus helped Chevy choose the settings for the standard FX3
adjustable active ride control Chevrolet fitted to the car with its
"Performance," "Sport" and "Touring" settings. GM quickly found
that the LT5 required special assembly; neither its Bowling Green
plant nor any of its other assembly facilities could handle the
work, so it contracted with Mercury Marine Corporation in
Stillwater, Oklahoma to assemble the engines and ship them to
Bowling Green. The key way to ID a ZR-1 was from the rear; it
sported a wider tail section than standard �Vettes with a new,
convex rear fascia that had four rectangular taillights and the car
had 11"-wide rear wheels. Documentation with this car includes
original window sticker, copy of window stickers, pre-delivery
inspection procedure sheet and mirror hangtag, odometer disclosure
statement, copies of the vehicle invoice, copies of GM-to-dealer
correspondence about the ZR-1, original Chevrolet Courtesy Key for
lock-outs or other emergency uses, service and maintenance receipts
totaling more than $16,000, a Corvette Authentics catalog, a
Pioneer CD RDS Receiver Owner's Manual, a Corvette Music System
Sampler cassette of popular rock �n roll hits from the 1980s and
miscellaneous state taxation and insurance forms. Competition to
this Corvette in 1990 included Dodge's Viper, Ferrari's 348,
Porsche's 911, Toyota's Supra Turbo, Acura's NSX and Nissan's 300ZX
Turbo and Aston Martin's Virage. This car is currently located at
our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the
odometer shows 39,460 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean
