THANKS FOR BIDDNING ON THIS VERY SPECIAL ZR1.. ENJOY THE HISTORY OF THIS VERY SPECIAL CORVETTE YOUR BIDDING ON... the ZR1 began to take shape in the 1980s. The Corvette development team, under the leadership of chief engineer Dave McLellan, had some exploratory meetings with Lotus Engineering, a wholly owned subsidiary of GM at that time. The idea was to have the small, fast-moving Lotus group work with the Corvette team to build a completely new, 4-cam, 4-valve-per-cylinder V-8 engine. That engine would be installed in a very small production run of very special Corvettes based on the existing C4 (fourth-generation) Corvette. Other than Indy Pace Cars, anniversary cars and those ZR1 Corvettes in the early 1970s, special low-volume, high-performance Corvettes were relatively rare. The C4, already radically different from the C3 with its central backbone, rear-mounted transaxle, 250-pound lighter weight and transverse leaf spring suspension, was to become even more special and sophisticated as the ZR1.The engine that resulted from that Corvette/Lotus collaboration was called the LT5. It was an all-aluminum-block V-8 with the same displacement, 5.7 liters or 350 cu. in., and the same bore centers (4.4 in.) as the normal Corvette's L98 pushrod engine. It had an unusual low-rpm/high-rpm intake tract (fort the time) on top of the engine, with solenoids that closed eight of the 16 intake runners and shut off the fuel injectors anytime the engine operated at less than at full-throttle. At full-throttle, all 16 intake runners and fuel injectors were open for business. A valet key in the instrument panel kept the engine in the low-power mode, making only about 250 hp. The LT5, intended to run at much higher rpm than the pushrod engine, was rated at 375 hp at 6000 rpm. It was among the most potent V-8 engines in the world at the time and just 5 hp shy of the Ferrari Testarossa. By comparison, the normal L98 Corvette engine was rated at only 250 hp at 4400 rpm. In 1989, Chevrolet built a few Corvettes with the LT-5 engine as a test fleet. Once they were satisfied with the engine's performance, drivability and durability, the Corvette team had to find a way to build the engines here in the U.S., instead of Lotus doing the job in England. Mercury Marine, which had by that time built thousands of GM small-block V8s for pleasure boats, was selected to build the LT-5 engine at the Mercury plant in Stillwater, Okla. The special LT-5-powered Corvette was given the option code RPO ZR1, and first offered for sale in the 1990 model year. Technically, it wasn't a separate model, but rather a $27,000 option package on the base Corvette. (Starting in 1991, the option price jumped to more than $31,000 and stayed there throughout the rest of the car's life.) The ZR1 had wider rear bodywork, wider doors, 11-in.-wide rear wheels, rectangular exhaust outlets and different, rounded-square taillamps than the regular Corvette. So if you looked hard enough, you could tell that it was a ZR1 that just blew your doors off. The ZR1 also carried a ZF-built 6-speed manual transmission, and huge (at the time) P315/35ZR17 Goodyear Eagle GS-C tires on wide alloy wheels. The engine, doors and rear end weren't the only special features on the ZR1--underneath each one was an entirely new FX3 suspension system that was also developed by Lotus Engineering. The ZR1 was an overnight sensation, even at the outrageous price in 1990 of $59,000. It was about twice the price of the standard L98 Corvette. Magazine tests at the time indicated a top speed approaching 180 mph, a 0-60 time of 4.2 to 4.6 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 13.2 seconds at 110 mph, and an astonishing skidpad performance of 0.93g. More than 3000 ZR1s were sold in that first year of production. To get the ZR1 even more publicity, a team of Corvettes and GM factory drivers was dispatched to the 7.5-mile circle track in Ft. Stockton, Texas. On March 1, 1990, a stock ZR1 set three open-class world speed records for both speed and endurance: 5000 kilometers at an average speed of 175.710 mph; 5000 miles at an average of 173.791 mph; and 4,221.256 miles at 175.885 mph.
