To all who read this message. NCRS gives all of the judged corvettes 4510 points to start with. Remember all 93-95 ZR-1's were built in 1993. The exhaust is no big thing to acquire, I have seen them on the net for a few hundred dollars, I know of three systems right here in Las Vegas. Most of the lables will or have been reproduced by after market sources. If not do what I did, go on the NCRS Tech Net and see if anyone has the items. You would be surprised. I just found an NOS PF-970C, still in the original box, oil filter. It was'nt $11.00 like the new replacement, but was very reasonable. That is now, wait until 2008 when all of the ZR's will be accepted for judging by NCRS, the price for everything will go up. An example is, the matching four barrel carbs for my 57 cost $56.00 from 1957 thru 1970's. That is $25.00 each plus tax. A set of those carbs, on an original Intake manifold, with the original air cleaners, and thermostat housing costs around (NOS) $5,000.00, thats inflation, and lack or parts. You figure there was 6,336 1957's made and 6,600+ ZR-1's made, all you have to do is the math. Like I have said in another thread, the ZR will be the way of the BB 427 of the 60's and 70's. Check out those figures at Barrett-Jackson, wow.
