Active Suspension ZR-1
Corvette enthusiast has a 5/6 page article on the active suspension ZR-1, the article itself is rather bland, but some great pictures, would have been nice to hear more about the design, and some of the unique features in more detail.
That car must have made about 15hp net HP after driving the pumps, not to mention the weight. LGAFF 92 ZR1 #234 |

Re: Active Suspension ZR-1
let's just say there is a reason that it never made it to market

Re: Active Suspension ZR-1
Neat concept but it would have seriously underpowered the platform

Re: Active Suspension ZR-1
Anybody seen this car while it was at the Corvette Museum in BG? I saw it a few years ago there; very impressive.

Re: Active Suspension ZR-1
It made it's way to Carlisle last year also, impressive, but crazy.
Haven't seen the invisible one though.
