See ZR-1 inspection TIPS

Any modifications?
Any photos?
Any Parts replacements that you know of?

Do the following function?
AC
Air Fans
Radio/CD

Any check engine light at any time?
What engine oil you been using?
Any oil leaks?
Any coolant leaks?
Does the engine run cool or on hot side?
Oil pressure idling?
Oil pressure at 3,000 rpm hot?
Stock Exhaust?
Do you know if the secondaries function with power switch ON?
What is the time between vacuum pump cycling with ignition key on?

This list is what I look for in any inspection of a corvette for others. A good list to avoid finding issues later.
In addition my first test always is a compression test which takes 15 minutes.
I also listen to the engine at all rpms making sure the engine idles around 850 rpm like it should.
