My 1990 ZR1 #148

[John Boothby]

This is my baby! Purchased in May 05. Just now really getting the feel for it. Everytime I take it out is a blast! I also have experienced the challenge of repairing the beast. Whatever it takes, it is worth it! By the way, I love my Harley's too!! (and my wife and dogs) :sign10:

VERY NICE TOYS MR JB I SUGGEST YOU RIGHT CLICK ON THESE AND "SAVE AS IS" THEM TO YOUR COMPUTER. I USED PUTFILE TO POST THESE PIC'S AND THEY MAY BE REMOVED AFTER 6 MONTHS IF NO ONE HAS LOOKED AT THEM SO IF THAT HAPPENS YOU CAN REPLACE THEM WITH YOUR STORED ONES ON YOUR COMPUTER!! I USED ADOBE PHOTOSHOP TO RESIZE THEM!!! IF ANY ONE ELSE NEEDS HELP WITH PIC'S THAT ARE TO BIG JUST EMAIL EM TO ME AND I CAN DO THE SAME FOR YOU!! BRYAN W. WB9MCW :cheers:

Very nice toys indeed.:cool:

Your #148 probably came off the assembly line the same day as my #151 Red/Saddle.

QUESTION: How many ZR-1's did GM build?



ANS: GM built a total of 6,939 ZR-1s. The first year, 1990, they built 3,049, in 1991 they built 2,044, 1992 502, in 1993-1995 they built 448 each year. :thumbsup:

11. All ZR-1's have a unique VIN number 1G1YZ vs 1G1YY.

Are all ZR-1's the same?



ANS: Almost, the first year (1990) was the most unique. The front end had the older style design (same as the base Corvette) while the rear had the new rounder tail you see today as well as the new "square" taillights. The early '90's also had steel half shafts in the rear vs aluminum later. The windshield is also a little different as the clear opening for "radar detectors" is bigger.
