All Corsa exhaust's do that. Beware of the blue turtle syndrome, these are inherently slow. Got something to do with the color.

Happy hunting Eric !
















FU David !













Really the Admiral blue is with out a doubt just about the best looking ZR1's built.

Theres plenty of cars out there with a stock finish that looks factory fresh and has never been refinished.

JMHO.....from looking at the picts of the motor I would guess that the finish is OEM. The black on the plenum looks to be a bit better than the black on the cam covers, but it could be the angle & light.....to me the give away to stock paint is the pox up at the T/B plate in the close up pict of Gordon's & Chris' signatures.

Also, my take on the brakes is that they are not in this picture group. The fronts look stock to me? The rears are for sure OE.

Eric, I would ask a favor from JVD and ask him to call that dealer and see if a bit of professional courtesy could be leveraged to get some answers to your Q's......worth a shot, no?

Good hunting!

I just thought maybe someone tried to wash/clean the motor and it turned that color...maybe not. The brakes look stock to me as well, will try to get some answers on the car today.

I might ask JVD, I will see him in a few hours...Going to the Corvette Homecoming in a few minutes to hang out and see what is going on....

I don't know but with only 28k the interior looks pretty wel beaten. I have 36k on my '92 and it looks a 100 times better.

Usally if somebody washes a motor and it ruins the finish it will look chalky or streaker reeally bad.The OEM finish on these cars varies from a bright silver all the way to an almost gloss grey with a little metallic in the finish.The finish on this motor looks as if maybe the car was left outside and the weather did this to the finish,heat cycles from very cold to high temp.$30,000 for this car is a great price if it does have low mileage.
