UP FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, IS THIS RARE 1990 CHEVROLET CORVETTE "KING OF THE HILL" ZR-1 WITH ONLY 10,638 MILES, AND WITH NO ACCIDENT HISTORY! THIS CAR WOULD MAKE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION, OR LOOK IMPRESSIVE SITTING NEXT TO A LATE MODEL ZR1, BEING THIS IS THE CAR THAT STARTED IT ALL! BACK IN 1990 ANTICIPATION BECAME REALIZATION, AND THE 'KING OF THE HILL" ARRIVED! IN THE MID-80'S GENERAL MOTORS AND IT'S CORVETTE DIVISION APPROACHED GROUP LOTUS IN GREAT BRITIAN WITH THE IDEA OF DEVELOPING THE WORLD'S FASTEST PRODUCTION CAR. FROM THAT COLLABORATION CAME THE LT5 ENGINE, AN ALUMINUM-BLOCK V-8 WITH THE SAME BORE AND STROKE AS THE STANDARD (L98) 350ci DISPLACEMENT UNIT, BUT WITH 375 HORSEPOWER. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS POWER BOOST, THE NEW BLOCK FEATURES FOUR OVERHEAD CAMSHAFTS AND 32 VALVES. THE LT5'S WERE BUILT BY MERCURY MARINE IN OKLAHOMA, AND ASSEMBLED INTO THE ZR-1 VEHICLE AT BOWLING GREEN. A UNIQUE COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROL MODULE PROVIDED "BI-MODAL" CHARACTERISTICS. THIS DUAL PERSONALITY WAS A LOGICAL OUTGROWTH OF THE APPEAL OF THE TWIN-TURBO CALLAWAY CONVERSIONS. THE ZR-1 COULD BE USED FOR ROUTINE STREET DRIVING OR CONVERT TO A RACE CAR WITH SPEED AND HANDLING AVAILABLE ON DEMAND. THE COMPUTER SYSTEM DIRECTED FUEL MIXTURES THROUGH AN UPGRADED INJECTION SYSTEM THAT ALLOWED FOR LOW-, HALF- AND FULL-THROTTLE MODES AND KICKED THE ENGINE UP TO 375 HORSEPOWER AND A KEY OPERATED 'VALET" SWITCH LOCKED OUT THE UPPER SPEED RANGES, LIMITING POWER TO A NORMAL 250 HORSES TO PREVENT INEXPERIENCED HANDS FROM TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE CAR'S OUTSTANDING POWER! AVAILABLE ONLY IN COUPE CONFIGURATION, THE ZR-1 WAS DISTINGUISHABLE FROM OTHER CORVETTE COUPES BY IT'S WIDER TAIL SECTION, REAR 11" WHEELS, AND IT'S NEW CONVEX REAR FASCIA WITH FOUR "SQUARE" TAILLIGHTS. ONLY 3,032 ZR-1'S WERE EVER TURNED OUT! THE 'KING OF THE HILL" DID NOT COME CHEAP, HOWEVER. THE PRICE OF THE BASIC COUPE WAS $31,979, BUT WITH THE ADDITION OF THE ZR-1'S SPECIAL PERFORMANCE PACKAGE LISTED AT $27,016, THE CAR WAS NOT MEANT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED OR BARGAIN-CONSCIOUS! IT'S REPORTED THAT SOME DEALERS ASKED, AND WERE PAID $100,00.00 FOR THE THE "ULTIMATE SPORTS CAR"! EVIDENCE OF IT'S POWER WAS A 4.9 SECOND 0-60 SPRINT, AND A QUARTER-MILE TURNED IN JUST 13.4 SECONDS FLAT! TOP SPEED WAS NEARLY 180mph! THIS CAR IS IN-STOCK, AND IS PRICED FOR A IMMEDIATE SALE WITH MY BUY-IT-NOW!
