Feck it this ones staying mostly stock except for headers and exhaust. I can buy another zr-1 for less!

so who's got a modded zr-1 coming up for sale in the next few years?
How about a modded ZR-1 from Long Island NY that has been for sale for the last 2 years? 441 ci with neck snapping performance. Frank was asking less than what it would cost to just build the 441. This is a phenomenal opportunity for the enthusiast who wants big cube LT5 fun. You can probably see it run at Beech Bend in 3 weeks.

i've wanted to buy that car since it was a 368 but i've never had the money and it doesn't look like i'm going to have that much spare cash anytime soon. I'm also not going to lie, i'm a little afraid of an lt5 that big

If you want to have some serious fun, don't be afraid to step up to the plate.

As mentioned before, the Power Effects system hasn't been available for quite a while. You can find them used, but they don't come up very often. Prices I have seen for used have been in the $800-900 range. Not long ago there was one for sale on Corvette Forum, but it wasn't for the ZR-1. Asking price was around $500 if I remember correctly.
