When it comes to collectible Corvettes, few names resonate like
ZR-1. From exclusive C3s to hyphen-free C6s, "Z", "R" and "1" have
always represented the pinnacle of Chevrolet performance. The C4
ZR-1 certainly tipped the price scales, but more than made up for
it by wrapping advanced looks around a stunning, Lotus-developed
V8. And this showroom-fresh coupe, a 1995 graduate that's endured a
mere 6,584 sunny day miles, is a pristine example of the best and
final hyphen cars. For those of you looking for a near perfect C4
to round out your Corvette collection, all hail this King of the
Road!
BODYWORK/TRIM
Take one look down the sides of this razor-sharp coupe and you'll
see a well-maintained garage queen that's assembly line fresh in
virtually every way. Torch Red 2-stage shows just how far GM paint
technology had come from the days of multi-colored Stingrays. The
car's lightweight body panels display precise fit and exact finish
under both glass and painted tops that function well and seal
great. According to a clean CarFax, it's very unlikely that body
has ever felt anything more aggressive than a soft detailing cloth.
And when that level of ownership is combined with Bowling Green's
top-notch build quality, it creates one seriously capable sports
car that shows well and absolutely blisters the road!
ENGINE
The aluminum LT5 V8 found under the hood of this virtually new
Corvette is a modern work of automotive art. Originally intended to
be a simple set of 16-valve cylinder heads atop a basic Chevrolet
small block, the Lotus engineers assigned to the project quickly
realized there was no cost-effective way to build such a motley
beast. Instead, they designed a world class V8, which shared basic
dimensions with Chevrolet's storied small block, but exactly zero
interchangeable components. The result is a 32-valve, 4-cam
powerhouse that utilizes a trick dual-path induction system to
create 405 horsepower and 385 lb./ft. of all-American torque. The
much lauded aluminum specialists at Mercury Marine of Stillwater,
Oklahoma assembled the aesthetically pleasing mill. And when fitted
under the Corvette's clamshell hood, it became an ultra-performance
world record holder. There's no mistaking the big engine's unique
intake and sculpted cam covers, which are emblazoned with the
Corvette logo, for something any less than fantastic. The current
owner installed a proven Marc Haibeck ECM to improve both power and
operation. And, more beautifully finished than any engine since the
1930s, the 20-year-old mill has been preserved in 100%
showroom-fresh condition.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Behind that hot small block, a proven ZF 6-speed distributes power
to a factory Corvette rear end. That combination works great in
conjunction with the motor's ability to shut down half its intake
runners, making this Vette plenty quick off the line and a joy to
cruise on the highway. All ZR-1s have a Lotus-tuned FX3 double
A-arm front and independent rear suspension, which features
electronic traction control and driver-adjustable active ride
control. 4-wheel, Lotus-tuned power disc brakes combine with
Lotus-tuned power steering to keep all that power productive and
pointed straight. Factory dual exhaust runs from original equipment
manifolds into two rear-mounted mufflers that hang just before GM's
familiar quad-outlet tips. And torque meets the pavement through a
set of killer 17-inch alloys that spin super wide 275/40ZR17 Nitto
NT555 Extreme ZRs in front of even wider 315/35ZR17 Nitto NT555
Extreme ZRs.
INTERIOR
Like its body, this C4's clean cockpit is well maintained in
virtually every way. The plush driving environment kicks off with a
pair of 6-way, power adjustable buckets that are stitched in Light
Gray leather. In front of those buckets, a leather-wrapped and
Corvette-branded steering wheel laps a conservative dash that's
fitted with both clear analog and bright digital gauges. Inside
that dash, the car's modern center stack anchors electronic climate
control above a premium Delco Bose sound system, a simple black
shifter and buttons for the adjustable suspension. Opposite that
center stack, 2-tone side panels hang switches for both power
windows and power door locks above sculpted armrests. And, at the
back of those panels, a surprisingly spacious cargo hold features
enough room for short, weekend road trips.
