Re: Best Sounding Exhaust for the ZR-1
Yep that was a great story and very kewl 4 JVD to do it up 4 u right! I like the 2nd vid where someone says(presume your son while trying to hold onto his camcorder) "104" at the end! lolol. Really gives you an idea of just how fast your BW ZR-1 accelerates! Audio was a bit low though had to crank it but the mic/sound/audio was much better and the b&b's ring through!:thumbsup:

He often tells folks the car still runs better than it did the day he drove it off the dealer's showroom floor in 1978! Sure wish Jim would get out of retirement and open a shop close to me.:worship: |
Re: Best Sounding Exhaust for the ZR-1
Bill I looked at your homepage 30 years of vetting! What a great Love affair...both the wife and the corvettes. Very cool! I have read bits and pieces of the Pirate Racing story and viewed the pic's from the Corvette museum and the placards ect. I was wondering if you knew of a complete story of the whole Zr-1 pirate racing. Were they part of Team ZR-1? Did you race with Team Zr-1? Perhaps if you felt so inclined you could start a thread in the personal racing section abt your adventures in racing vettes over the years! I have looked thru all the Team Zr-1 stuff and somewhere in there I think there are some great stories about racing Zr-1 and vettes in general. Perhaps others might join in and tell their stories! I think a lot of the original Zr-1 owners bought their Zr-1 to either collect as an investment, and there were others who bought the KOTH to race and these are the srories I and other 2nd gen Zr-1 guys would love to hear! jimo... tia...

Re: Best Sounding Exhaust for the ZR-1
Bryan, No, as far as I know, Pirate Racing, was never associated with Team ZR1. Perhaps JVD or some of the others can help clarify this. I did some Drag Racing around So Cal in the seventies and did some racing school sessions at Willow Springs, etc, but never anything in the league with the Pirate folks...just a guy on the sidelines cheering. I did sneak into the old Meadowdale Raceway in Carpentersville many times with friends before they dug up sections of the track to take away our private race track. I like your idea of a race section on the forum...wish someone would start it. Again I'd be on the sidelines watching and reading in marvel about our great toys. There were some excellent Pirate pictures published on the ZR1NET last month http://zr1netregistry.com/ZR1_racingpictures.htm I sent you a PM with much more ramblings.

Re: Best Sounding Exhaust for the ZR-1
here are some pic's of the zr-1 systems and a net article........
http://www.zr1netregistry.com/502.02.jpg A Flowmaster cat-back exhaust for a 95 ZR-1. This exhaust, when installed on an ZR-1 with a 450-hp LT5 and compared back-to-back on a DynoJet 248H chassis increased the car's performance by 18 hp at the rear wheels.
