GM Still uses the PEP car status.

2009 ZR1's with PEP status
95800007
95800021
95800076
95800077
95800117
95800128

Not sure what PEP stands for.

Believe PEP is the acronym for GMs "Product Evaluation Program" where the vehicle is driven as a company car by a GM executive.

Scott, thanks for the PEP info. Turns out GM searched for the dealer invoice in the last few weeks that's why they recognized the vin.

Thought this was interesting. My 1989 L98 Corvette has standard cloth seats (1 of only 400 built that year) Here is a side bolster comparison between the two:



Note the checker pattern on the ZR-1 is oposite of the base cloth seat.

PEP cars are giving to GM level 8 Managers and above, generally for 1 year or less, sometimes as little as 3 months, the individidual keeps a log of issues and evaluations during that time period. Then GM employees are allowed to buy the PEP cars at greatly reduced pricing.

Good stuff thanks. I imagine there was probably an embargo on buying an 89 ZR-1 though. So lets speculate who was a level 8 manager in 1989? Dave Mclellan? John Heinricy?

[TAMMRICH]

After Level 8 they go unclassified which is what those guys would have been, at that level you pretty much take what car you want!

The ZR-1 does not have the sport controls? That is a normal difference from an 89 Base and a 89 Sport seat (cloth or Leather)
