I'm back with an Admiral Blue ZR-1 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

EvanZR1 · 07-20-2023

Picked this up today. 1994 Admiral Blue Corvette ZR-1. 1 of 56 total ZR-1s in Admiral Blue, and it has a custom Alcantara interior and a modified LT5 engine making 550HP (450whp). It's in incredible condition, looks amazing and sounds very rowdy. This will be my 3rd C4 ZR-1, and I absolutely love it. Old school manual driver's car that's kind of obnoxious. Has OZ Racing wheels, 4.10 gears (need to get the speedo gear), ported top end with custom cams, long tubes and B&B exhaust (2nd gen, not the god-awful horrible drone 1st gen). The windshield has been replaced with the correct solar tinted aftermarket piece (so no delamination), aftermarket head unit, amp & speakers, Ron Davis radiator and the AC works. I love our C8 HTC, but really needed something with a manual that was a little more unique and rowdy, so this is it.

Since I can't post pics yet (waiting on membership renewal), here's a Google Photos album link.

It is Dave J's old car. He sold it to someone else, and they did it as part of a trade to Scott for another one.

Needs the speedo gear for the 4.10s, and I may want to change the wheels from the OZs that are on it to something else, but honestly it's about as close to perfect as you can get.

There's just something about the ZR-1. I love our C8 HTC, but I need something with a manual and that's a little noisy/rowdy. Something that's an event to drive. And speaking of drive:
