| A guy was selling a 1990 ZR-1 & was asking $16,500. This generation of Corvette is one of the worst for quality/durability (I drove one sometimes when I worked at GM to do work related errands; it was a "pool" car. I hated driving the one we had. What a piece of junk... Fast but still a piece of junk to drive in almost every way...). This twin-double overhead cam, 4-valves per cylinder V8 was designed by Lotus (which was owned by GM around that time) and was built by Mercury Marine (who had the production capacity). This is a pretty cool engine, although it didn't have huge output, compared to what's common today, but it's supposed to rev like a twin cam 4-valve engine... It's huge though. The drivetrain from this car would be cool to put under a sleeper sedan (like my 1964 Mercedes. Just pipe-dreams...). |
