Re: GS90 by Dick Guldstrand
I think so - one was brought to the April 1995 NCM Gathering with sales information but since I had just bought the turq, I was not in the market anymore so I do not know the target pricing.
And the 190 MPH top speed might have been due to the sleeker body and some basic early engine mods - extrude honing of the plenum was about all folks were doing at the time.

The GS90 was ready for MY 1994, but GM had known for a while now that ZR-1 was dead. The GS90 had a 475hp rating I speculate that these 6 LT5 engines got the typical "Black Widow" treatment from Mercruiser, minus the black powedercoat. Mr Gulstrand was planning a Roadster, Speedster and lightweight versions of the GS90 to be sold through Chevrolet dealers, a-la Callaway "B2K" but GM nixxed the idea, not wanting to draw ANY attention to the ZR-1. Amazing what a few years does isnt it? The GS90 cost $134,500 over the price of a $72,208 ZR-1, for a total of $206,208. As a result, only six GS90s (Coupe and Roadster) were built and sold. Cool video. peace Hog |

a propane powered GS90 I believe was built as well. nice cars, not my style, as the C4 body looks pretty good to me but goldie for sure knows how to make em go. I see them pop up every now and then, but not typically for sale. anyone know someone who has one??

Re: GS90 by Dick Guldstrand
Love it, love it, love it.
While at BG C4/ZR-1 gathering, I commented to JVD how much I liked the GS90, he shared some unusual stories and pics about the GS90. Love it, love it, love it
