Default 13 of the fastest Corvettes made

A little more press for us :

With an engine that was born from a collaboration of Mercury Marine and Lotus, the ZR-1's LT5 was an all-aluminum V8 that made 375-hp—only 5-hp away from a Ferrari Testarossa. It also had a suspension developed by the tuning gurus at Lotus. Oh, did we mention it was fast? It had a top speed of nearly 180 mph and a 0-60 time of just over four seconds. Production went from 1990 to 1995, with 6939 ZR-1s total built.

A nice summary of many corvettes, Frank, and a great nod to the ZR-1. And it is appropriate that they selected a Polo Green ZR-1, as we all know the green ones are the fastest. --Bob
