The rights to the first ZR1 sold at Barret Jackson auction for 1 millionWhen I was down at the Chevy dealer driving the ZO6 they were saying that they were gonna go for 150k or so:bananabang:

There was one at the Pavilions two weeks ago. Nice, but I didn't care for the COT spoiler in the front and the ugly clear hood area. If you want to show off the motor like Ferrari does... show us the motor, not an air cleaner...

notice... all completely stock body panels on a 20 year old car. plus they did it the first time with the stock eec-iv computer. now thats impressive.

I thought ZR-1's had DOHC motors?

I believe it is a big push rod with a blower.

Yep, they used the new 6.3 liter from the regular vette. The z06 engine could not take the boost.

last aug they ran the car down here in az and with test equipment, and camo, bone stock the car went 11.0 in the middle of the summer. Think the car is a all around preformer. Add some sticky tires and launch it hard and should be good
