Re: Getting Ready to buy a ZR-1
I crashed through a chain-link fence and crushed the bumper. No airbag deployed on my 1990. Lucky, I guess.

Has anyone checked that car out or know if there’s something wrong with it? Has 59K miles which is kind of high, but from what I’m told if the car is maintained well miles don’t mean all that much. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry |

Might be high miles in your opinion.... but 59k miles on an LT-5 is pretty minimal....so long as the use of the car was overall normal.

60k miles and the LT5 is just getting broken in. Marc Haibeck showed me an engine with 170k on it that was used as a track car. It came in to be "freshened up"; new bearings, rings, etc. According to Marc, it had some wear, of course, but the bearings, sleeves, rings, etc. were still in spec. It goes back to LOTUS's design and Merc Marine's credit for building an engine built to last in competition. Again....NOTHING about the SBC can be attached to the LT5: not parts, and certainly not wear characteristics, apparently. It (the LT5) is a completely different animal. Forget everything you know about SBCs, wear and endurance characteristics, etc., when considering the LT5. They don't apply. The LT5 motor is a "clean slate": a complete "do-over", far as V8 design goes...which is ONE of its more intriguing aspects!! Last edited by Paul Workman; 07-31-2019 at 08:44 AM. |
