Then don't think that's why you never see a ZR-1 on the road. Too many people buy them to park them and let the next guy actually enjoy it. I really wish I could enjoy mine a bit more, but with a family it is difficult (and frowned upon) to put 4 people in a Corvette.

Unicorn is a great description. Our cars with LT5 is the first time and only time. GM put a dual overhead cam 32 valve engine in a corvette. It is way ahead of its time and is an icon in the Industry. It's only 1.94% of all C4's ever manufactured. It's a unicorn and it's not because of paint Color or anniversary editions. It's because of the mechanics of the LT5.Screenshot_20231203_090820_Chrome.jpg

Isn't the C8 Z06 a dual overhead cam? So the only time statement can no long apply.

You're absolutely correct and I am wrong. Our cars are the first dual overhead Cam 32 valve engine with 16 fuel injectors to be put in a corvette. Only took 33 years for GM to figure out what works. Embrace are unicorn.

So true. And for the record, I, too, am getting faster by the minute. --Bob
