Just listening to the motor, much less driving it will convince you of the difference. The ZR-1 is not called the King Of The Hill for nothing.

This is also the best time to buy a ZR-1, as it is a buyers market. They are undervalued and will be going up in value like the other sought after Corvettes. So grab one now while you can get it at a reasonable price.

so the deal was 8500 and you paint one of his cars >? do you have to pay for materials or is he going to do the body work and all you have to do is squirt it? i would say 8500 for the car and nothin else . but i wouldnt settle for the l98 motor for about 4 k more you would have a rare screamer . there is nothing like and lt5 motor @7000 rpms . but in the end its up to you . i traded a 92 lt1 and some cash for my first zr1 and been in love with them ever since ,so bad i had to by another for a backup so i would allways have a zr1 to drive . to many of us there is no finer car to drive . not putting down the standard vet but once you have a ride in a zr1 you will know what i mean . standard vet like taking a shower with a raincoat on

couldn't agree more. You can't compare a base corvette to a ZR-1. There are a bunch of ZR-1s for sale now at insanely low prices. This is the time to buy.

That's exactly what happened to me!

I STARTED WITH AN 84

Then bought the ZR-1

Was not long b4 I sold the 84

Could have kept em both but did not like keeping the 84 outside soooooooo up on the blocks she went and I took a beating but hey that is the way it goes.

Never looked back either more leg and head room in the 92Z and well the luv affair with the LT5 and the DOHC + the HP made it easy to forget the 84.

Had 13.5K in this 84 as well she went well for an 84 (secret was the 3.9 sumthin gear rear end) and loud exhaust etc. but ended up selling to a friend for 7.5K.



Twas my "starter VETTE"

Then came the KOTH
