New member / ZR-1 Owner -Detroit
Hello everyone. Taking a few minutes to introduce myself. I’m a life long Corvette fan, always been into horsepower and technology. While I’m extremely versed on the late model corvette’s (ZO6 and ZR1), I’m looking forward to learning as much about my early ZR-1 as I possibly can and spending time with fellow, like minded enthusiast.
I just purchased 1994 ZR-1 #0084 Red. I live in the Metro Detroit area. -Thomas Last edited by Ls7/Ls9 Test Engineer; 10-14-2017 at 03:52 PM. |

Re: New member / ZR-1 Owner -Detroit
Thank you for the welcome. I happened to see that you’re from N.C.
That is where I purchased the car from. I’m flying in next Saturday and driving back to Detroit..

Re: New member / ZR-1 Owner -Detroit
Thomas,
You looking to keep it stock. Or do u want to see what the potential of an LT5 is? Might be an appropriate timing if GM is indeed coming up w a successor to KOTH.

Re: New member / ZR-1 Owner -Detroit
Honestly, with the capability of the LS & the new LT platform, I’m not going to try and reinvent the wheel and push my wants on such a work of art. (LT5).
I’m going to leave the car bone stock and maybe pick up a late model ZR1 in about two years when they are much more affordable.. |

Re: New member / ZR-1 Owner -Detroit
Welcome!
As said above, there are mods that provide significant improvement and are not even visible, i.e porting, polishing. There are others that are quite easily reversible, such as exhaust, that just make the car so much more fun. Nothing wrong with bone stock, except that an LT-1 of the same vintage sounds deeper and better. While many don't believe that any C-4 is special, those of us who have driven a ZR-1 know the real truth. Enjoy your piece of Corvette history!  Marty |

Better get a detector for the trip. The car cruises nicely at 2000 RPM’s but that around 92 MPH. I actually got 23 MPG at that speed. Enjoy your trip!! Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry
