It is not one of ours... [emoji17]

Yep! Saw those too. However, someoene went to great lengths to make it LOOK more like a ZR-1 than those who simply stick ZR-1 badges on their cars.

A poser: Look at the shape of the fender adjacent to the tail lights and compare. The backup lights (the "ZR-1") were narrowed to provide for the black boarder either side of the license plate...

That black "ZR-1" is the best POSER I've seen so far - much better than this yellow POSER that is more typical, IMO.

His corvette is not a pos. Odds are it will outrun whatever you are driving!

Definitely not a ZR-1 but if the owner is happy then so be it

Dont pose as a super car which is a ZR-1 and I wont call it that ... It's a phony ... Done deal ... I don't care if it will beat my car . It does not have any history other than being the amazing C4 which I have nothing but respect and appreciation for . Sorry . Just not a fan of mods or non stock look . Your right tho . I was wrong to call it a pos . He worked hard and spent coin to mod it and thats his right to do what ever ...

there are no ZR-1 emblems on the car.. it looks like a 1990 with an updated rear bumper and different front bumper.. The BBC intrigues me, but not a fan of the look of the car.

Sounds quite mean, but I would not call it a POS (I know tripler retracted that) but it looks like a nicely done car, just not for me..

My car is modded so I know I piss off those that have keep everything stock.. but hey that is why everyone is different

Wrong bumper fenders and doors to have ever been a ZR1, not sure why it has the Z's brake light though.

That and at 1:26 you can see it doesn't have the zr-1 specific rockers.

If my motor blew up, I'd install a 383 stroker (only if I couldn't find a decent LT5)
