ZR1 in the house
Hi everyone,
I have purchased a 1991 ZR1 and could not be happier. I have waited a number of years for the planets to align right so that I could own one. It is white on red and worth every penny I paid. I have owned several Corvettes over the years (1986, 1987, 1994, and 1999). I am very practical to C4 as you can see. The grin has not left my face yet as this car is far more exciting than I would have thought. The 94 was an LT1 and the 99 an LS1. If you believe what some people say, write, or look at the engine specs would think there is little difference between the them. I can say without a doubt that the numbers really do not provide an accurate comparison. By far the LT5 powered vehicle is much more enjoyable to drive and delivers that power in spades. But I preach the the choir. There are two items that I need to address. First is the low coolant light is not working. I will be checking the bulb but if this is not the problem where is the sensor. On the 94 it was located in the upper portion of the radiator. Where is it on the LT5? Also and this may not be a issue is on occasion when accelerating with some enthusiasm the ABS active light will come on for a second. Is this normal or do I need to look at something? Thanks in advance for your suggestions and long live the King.

The ABS light only comes on when the ABS controller goes through its self check (once within the first 100 yards forward or so) and when one or more wheel is slipping under braking which you feel in the brake pedal. What you're seeing is not normal and I don't have a clue what's going on.
