Bob you know this answer already - you would have to strip the piss out of the ZR-1 and have real skinny guy drive.

I think you missed my comment on post #13

"The Chart on the ZR-1 Reg. Home Page confirms that the graph is a good appx. for Weight vs HP. Even though the weight should be extrapolated to 3400 #'s it seems to work well at the 3200# curve

Hey it is all approx's in the first place but it gives you a general idea."

So since it was working well @ 3,200 we did not extrapolate to 3,400#'s.

But in the search for true perfection ---- Just for you Bob -- Well Dyno will like it too!

The Graph shows around 107 MPH.

One of the members has a real good chart (program) with the gear ratios figured in.

The 90's really are the fastest Z's! Dang, bought the wrong year.

neither of my cars are lightened except for the removal of air system when i installed headers ,oh plus the removal of the spare tire and jack . my 90 weighs 3440 and the 92 3505 weighed on the scales at the strip.mark haibeck has weight savings ideas on his site.

brain ,love that boat, wish i was close enough to a good lake to have one . the banker deal gave me a big smile , reminds me of a hotrod buddy whos house i drove over to when i first got my zr1. i said want to go for a ride .he said why its just a smogged out vet. thought the pink windshield was cool . so i did much like you took him out to a quiet road and nailed it from about a 5 mile an hr roll her fat but kinda went back and forth hazing the tires ,rubber in second, at that point he said the famous quote holy sh!t, hit 6500 in third and let off . he made me pull over and pop the clam shell. when he saw the motor he said wtf is that . i said that is the motor that comes with a zr1.he had never seen one before . he now owns his own 90 and loves freaking out his friends with it .as well as his brother who owns a c5 zo6 and loses every time they race .
