View Full Version : ZR-1 can still hold it's own after 10 years Chris_N5CWM 02-10-2006, 07:33 PM I found this vid on the 'net. Still King of the Hill! (Well..until GM introduced the C6 Z06, that is).

Chris_N5CWM 02-11-2006, 05:00 PM Sure looks like a C5 dash, and the text next to the clip says it's a C5 and a ZR-1. I remember my ZR-1 pulled strong in the upper gears (4th, 5th and 6th). It felt like the sense of acceleration never tapered off even in the 110+ range and up. My LT4 Vette was strong, but the ZR-1 was a monster. Man I miss that one. Clayton 02-13-2006, 04:34 PM Very cool video. I saw another one like that. I'll try and find it and post it. It's on a track though so I don't know what mods had been done to the cars. they were numbered like race cars so it's possible that they were all hopped up. okvette92 04-24-2006, 03:12 PM Man you have to love a ZR1! I worked at Mercury Marine in Stillwater, Oklahoma for a bit and that is where they assembled the LT5. I looked around but didn't see any left over engines- but I guess after about a decade I wouldn't- Haha but a man can dream! Genesis_26317 12-20-2006, 04:27 AM Valves and quad cams hold up pretty well, huh? Lingenfelter had some (probably still does) badass packages for the LT5. They put out more hp than the similiar cubed LSX engines, though they cost something like $7k-$10k more...

And I LOOOVE that ZR-2, too! Welcome to the forums! WickedVetteLT4 01-14-2008, 02:46 PM What kind of power did the ZR-1's put down stock? JoeVetteman 01-14-2008, 06:26 PM Hello guys.The ZR-1's came with 375 hp from '90(or any '89 prototypes) to '92,then went to 405hp from '93 to the final year,'95.Hope this helps.Joe |
