Last year I didn't know the C4 ZR-1 existed, but after stumbling across the Hagerty video with Jason Cammisa I became fascinated with the tech, engineering and straight up cool factor of the legend.
From that point on I started my search for a ZR-1 to drive and enjoy. And I found one in MO! 1991 Corvette ZR-1 #0093 This was a bit of an adventure. I flew out there to meet the owner with my dad and road tripped it down to south Louisiana. I have to admit I don't know how to drive a manual transmission yet, so I'll be learning with this beast! My dad is going to teach me so that'll be fun(or we'll pull each other's hair out lol) and I'm looking forward to learning and enjoying it. Not sure how to post photos...but once I figure it out I'll post some. ![]() |

Congratulations for finding one of the best kept secrets in automotive history. Welcome to the family and you have come to the right place. Best wishes and enjoy. It is great to hear the younger generation are getting into this car and you will not regret it.

Welcome and congratulations! Its awesome that you're making memories with your dad in an amazing car.
The advertisement for the car really undersold its maintenance and modifications. If you ever have any question about it, please let me know, I built it ![]() Last edited by Jcsws6; 5 Days Ago at 07:15 PM. |

Congratulations looks like you got a fabulous example. A good way to start out is with a properly sorted version, it eliminates quite a bit of up front head scratching and lets the enjoyment begin with the first hard push on the fun pedal. Instant gratification, Instant! I also knew little about the Beast and embarked on the quest, I can tell you from the short weather window I got to use my ?91 last summer, there just simply ain?t nuthin like it! As for manual gearbox, you have some serious motivation to develop that new skill to the fullest. Enjoy. The members here have ALL the knowledge.
