How to spot a 89 Pilot ZR-1 from behind!
Thanks to a tip from our Spanish chapter member Pedro, I learned another new thing. The Pilot ZR-1s have the rear "Corvette" emblem slightly lower on the rear bumper. look at these two pictures for comparison:
  This smaller gap also exists on #004 so it appears they moved it most likely starting with #040. Thanks again Pedro. Eric

Re: How to spot a 89 Pilot ZR-1 from behind!
Britt and I were having this conversation since he was trying to figure where to put the script on his car. Mine has it low also.
Queenie. http://deliquescence.net/~tyler/prot...eum%20back.jpg It would appear from the early picture of Geoffs car they were doing it either way on the 88s and did not finally decide until 89 # 40. Tyler

Re: How to spot a 89 Pilot ZR-1 from behind!

Re: How to spot a 89 Pilot ZR-1 from behind!
Hey Eric, thanks for the compliment. It's a homemade theory, probably not 100 % accurate, the real experts can tell.
I had a great time with all of you back in May 2010 at the 20th Anniversary Gathering

Re: How to spot a 89 Pilot ZR-1 from behind!
Well #004 has it lower too. So I bet although #004 was produced before #003 that they had the same placement. Eric
