When the C4 Corvette was first offered in 1984 Chevrolet gave us was the best Corvette the world had ever seen. The car had new styling, a new interior with a cool video-game-like digital dashboard, a V8 engine under the hood and remarkable handling. The handling was so good that when introduced, the C4 Vette was the absolute best-handling car in the world, capable of 1.0 G on the skid pad. Horsepower was 205; This would change over the years as the engine would increase to 230 horsepower in 1985 and 240 in 1987.
But the real surprise was the launch of the ZR-1 in 1990. The ZR-1 used an all-aluminum 4-cam V8 developed by Lotus and hand assembled by Mercury Marine. This was the powerplant everyone was hoping for as it delivered 375 horsepower. Only a couple of Ferraris and a Porsche were faster. The ZR-1 wheels were 11-inches wide with 193 mph Z-rated 17-inch tires. To fit those tires, the rear of the car was widened three inches, which necessitated a different rear clip, doors and rocker panels.
The ZR-1 was called “King of the Hill.” Larry Merow, operator of The ZR-1 Registry: "As far as I am concerned, the ZR-1 is the best sports car ever made." This high priest of ZR-1 enthusiasm owns three ZR-1s, including a '93 green/black model that he says is the only one made in that combination that year. About 15 % of the Registry's 1850 members own more than one ZR-1. The ZR-1 was unlike any Corvette — any American car — ever made, and in concert with its status as the most expensive production Chevy ever, it was a rare bird in the nation's high-performance aviary. Early enthusiasm for ZR-1s had some people paying over $100k to get one.
The 1992 original MSRP was $69,545 (about double a base Corvette); the ZR-1 option was $31,683 of that. Only 502 ZR-1 were produced in 1992 and 448 built in each of the car’s three remaining model years. So, this car is fairly rare - especially for a Corvette.
