Found a reference to the ZR-1 at Sheridan Votech Center from the February 20, 1992 edition of the Miami Herald:

"The Sheridan Vocational-Technical Center in Hollywood held its third annual open house Feb. 10 and 11 for its automotive program. The open house was in recognition of National Vocational Education week, Feb. 10 to 15. General Motors and Ford provided demonstrations on these automotive topics during the open house: super and turbo charging, 375 horsepower ZR-1 Corvette, computerized shifted transmission, Freon-recycling, distributorless ignition system, air-bag deployment and certification legislation. "

Not sure maybe the 8000RPM dash wasn't ready yet, but I doubt that.

Question for you. What is the squareish circle inside the circle in the middle of the photograph? just above the digits? It looks like part of the cluster, but never seen it before on an 8000 rpm dash nor on a 6000 dash. When I look in the owners handbook is shows in some of the small graphics and not in others. thanks, George

Overdrive light for a 4+3 manual 84-88 car, since that is what the cluster came out of.

Is there an RPO code sheet on the bottom of the center console door?

Thanks Jeff.

Often on C4s you can faintly see the assembly date written on the underside of the hood, its towards the front of the hood on the D/S. Usually written in a white pen, almost looks like wax.

Been involved in a little car show for the last week or so and misssed the tread. Someone has swaped out the dash cluster with a stock unit, it had a ZR-1 unit on it when I saw it and 270 miles so it is over reporting the actual mileage. I suspect it was done at the heritage center and maybe they know where the original unit is. The ERR code can only be fixed by sending it off. I had to have mine fixed as there are some solder spots that will go bad after a time. Aparently the ckt board welder had it problems.

The early DIS module had problems so you might want to check it. Best way is to pull all the plugs connect them to the wires and lay them on the plenum. Crank the car and watch the spark acrosss the pulgs. There should be a rythem to the flashes, if there is not then the dis module may be bad.

They also displayed the car at some of the Miami International car shows. It was at one of those events that they were offered $250 k for the car.
