Default 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.

let's just say there is a reason that it never made it to market

Of course there was a reason for it not making it to market.

Neat concept but it would have seriously underpowered the platform

It made it's way to Carlisle last year also, impressive, but crazy.
