Do you own a ZR-1 or a C4

[jimmac28]

Chevrolet Corvette made two different corvettes between 1990-1996.
ZR-1 from 1990-1995 and Grand Sport in 1996 and gave them different vin numbers, so the standard Corvette is a C4, the ZR-1 is a C4.1 and the Grand Sport is a C4.2.


Just like in reality a C6 is a C5.5, I hope this clears everything up.

Verbally no one can "see" the dash between the R and the 1. I know the dash is there, but they, more often than not, don't know it's there. Usually, since the C6 ZR1, they light up with that look of 'you're lucky'. Before the C6 ZR1 most people would just have a befuddled look. I would have to explain what a C4 ZR-1 actually is. To all of us, we all own ZR-1's, but we all know what all of us are talking about. Most of the rest of the world is outside our circle.

I've always been out where the buses don't run! I like it out here as the roads are less crowded!

Tom,

Don't feel bad, Dave McLellan would be #4 in the survey if he participated in it. Dom said either or and that is why I chose ZR-1. I still remember when the ZR1 came out and I joined he Corvette Club in Hawaii and everyone thought I was bringing the first ZR1 in Hawaii to the cruise and were mad when I pulled up with the C4 ZR-1. As you stated, there are even Corvette enthusiasts that don't know or recognize the C4 ZR-1 as the "real" ZR-1 that we know it as. I don't think the C6 ZR1 made anywhere near the hype that our cars got back in the day.

By the way, why are you always talking about those buses. I used to ride in the short yellow one.

I did not get to vote in the survey, but you can add my vote for ZR-1. I, like many of you, have noticed that there are not a lot of people that are aware of what a ZR-1 (C4 version with the dash) really is and what they meant to the overall development of the current Corvettes, even the C6 ZR1.

I have gone to several shows and cruise-ins since purchasing the car and even other C5 and C6 owners do not know what it is. That is why I have printed out a couple of short informational sheets and have them on the windshield or dash for people to read. One is from the NCM and is the article, “Corvette ZR-1: It’s Good to be the King” and the other is excerpted from the description on our website that I have edited and titled, “Corvette ZR-1 and the LT5 Engine.” Please don’t sue me for plagiarism, I credit both sources and feel this is my way of educating the public and promoting our unique cars. I also have a printout of who the people are that have signed my plenum and a large poster promoting my Z and its modifications. My car may look like a poster child for the ZR-1, but they definitely start conversations and I am very proud to tell others about the ZR-1.

There was no 'BOTH" option.... Which is the correct choice.

[Bob Eyres]

If you want to be accurate, of course it's both.

It's a C4 with the ZR-1 performance option, as listed on the window sticker.

But in conversation, I always refer to it as a ZR-1. That usually gets the attention of anyone with an interest in performance cars.

Ok, now you lost me again!!!
I own a 1995 ZR-1 and a 1996 Collecters Edition.
Hmmm!
I guess the answer is Yes!!!
I have two c4s, one C5 and one C6!!

That wasn't an oversight on my part.

Healthy debate

[Daniel_Mc]

Well... I always call it "The Z", "White Car", or "ZR-1" since we have 3 C4's.

The best years for ZR-1 90-95..........Remember the "dash"
