This one owner car from new has been used sparingly to keep it in as close to as showroom condition as possible. One of 3049 built in its first year of production, with a total of 6939 built over a five year period. Occasional drives to keep everything in working order, has resulted in a very nice example of the venerable ZR1 Corvette. Equipped with a 32-valve 5.7 liter V-8 engine, and a six-speed manual transmission. The "LT5" on the options sheet, is an aluminum block with two camshafts on each of its aluminum heads, producing 380 horsepower. It was designed by GM's Lotus division and assembled under contract by Mercury Marine. The transmission was designed and built by ZF and is one of the most versatile manual transmissions of all time. It is equally at home on the track or in the city. The engine's performance for the time was astounding and comparable to the exotics such as Ferrari and Porsche. The ZR1 has the ability to take you from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and from a stop to 100 in 10.4 seconds with a top speed of 175 miles per hour. The signature of the ZR1 was the widened rear of the car to house the massive 315/35ZR-17 Goodyear Eagle unidirectional Gatorbacks in the back and 275/40ZR-17 Eagles up front. Wheel width is 9.5 inches in front and 11.0 inches in the back. The original tires are present and were replaced with Michelin Pilot Sports.

The exterior in Bright Red shows like new, and the interior in Gray Leather is as supple as the day it was delivered. With analog and digital instruments, cruise control, intermittent wipers, air conditioning, power windows and locks, and electric heated rearview mirrors that were standard. The ZR1 Performance package included special aluminum wheels, a selective Performance Handling Package, leather six-way adjustable seats, a Delco/Bose stereo system, Electronic A/C and removable roof panels in Red and smoked glass. Two switches on the console allow you to select different suspension settings, and a removable key allows you to reduce the power of the car for young drivers or valets.
