Default Commentary from Corvette Forum?

Found this comment over in the C3 section of the Corvette Forum...........



I've seen one actual ZR-1 in my life and ran with it on a track with my LT4. The LT4 beat it. There isn't THAT much of a difference between the 2 in real world performance. They are close enough that the driver makes the difference.

A ZR-1 would be nice to own just for nostalgic reasons but then so is a 69. Personally I'd rather own the 69 but if you really like the C4 styling the ZR-1 is a great car to collect. I'd bet that you would regret it down the road though.

I'd just like to pull up next to him at a stop light and show him the difference, just to 3rd gear would be fine.

The ZR1 didn't have the key on.

Maybe a new owner? No reason to defend what you know you have, let em talk all they want over there. I love that picture in the thread though, I laugh every time I see it.

I had a 96 LT4 before my ZR-1 and there is no Comparison. That guy raced a ZR-1 clone with an LT-1 in it I bet.

No need to get feathers ruffled over it. I worked with a guy one time who said that neil young was the best rocknroll singer that ever walked the planet. Nuff said.

Sorry to do this to you Ryan. But USAFPILOT forgot to turn his full power key on in his black 94 Z when we were drag racing in San Antonio and he ran a 16.79@74mph. That's how much difference there is when its on as opposed to off. Even the announcer said 16.79? What was that? Hahaha!
