Hello from Switzerland,
March 2, 1990. A date we should remember. On this day Tommy Morrison and his team broke three world records of endurance regardless of category or class, driving a Corvette ZR-1 on the test track in Fort Stockton. Meanwhile the records were broken by a Volkswagen prototype, but this was a purpose built car and can't be compared to the enormous performance of the ZR-1, because the Corvette was nearly stock. Still 18 years later we have to congratulate Tommy Morrison and his team on these records. Last edited by ZR-1 Franz; 03-02-2008 at 08:55 AM. |

Here's to Tommy Morrison and the team. Just one of the many things that make this car so special.

they can say what they want about newer is better .let them go to fort stockton and try to better the kings record . they may make em faster ,but our engine is still the best built , longest lasting motor ever built for the corvette . example my 148k car has run11.38 @124+ mph in the 1/4 with just full porting. we did a leak down test and the worst cylinder was 5percent . we did the test twice to make sure .I'll bet i can get 250k before a rebuild . not bad at all . heck the car will proably last longer than me .

FWIW ~
Ft. Stockton is located in West Texas (not too far from where I grew up) and March 2 also happens to be Texas Independence Day ... so for Texans who own ZR-1's, it is a double celebration. George |
