The nosebleed cost of the ZR-1 wasn’t just because of the LT5 engine. The ZR-1’s body widened from the doors back in order to cover what was then considered ultra-wide rear tires. Wheels, tires, and suspension were all upgraded to handle the 125-horsepower difference between the base 250-horsepower L98 and the LT5’s 375-horsepower. Corvette sales were almost half what they’d been in the mid-80s. Had the economy been better, and if Chevrolet would have been able to order more engines from Mercury Marine, the price would have come down.

Lol.....I like that description....Nosebleed...They certainly were..
