1990 Chevrolet Corvette Zr1 on 2040-cars
Jonesboro, Texas, United States
Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : raymundoreengleby@ukfun.com .1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 - this was the hottest American automobile made this year. In 1990 the Corvette ZR1
set several world records for durability, time and speed at a track in Texas. The ZR1 package was a $27,016 option
in 1990 with a total list price of over $60,000.
This car was originally purchased by a doctor at Jon Allen Chevrolet in Daytona Beach, Florida. The car was stored
in one of the doctors garages for 24 years along with many other collectables. Once I purchased it I took it to
Carr's Corvettes in Plano, Texas. They went through the entire car and found nothing wrong with it. They replaced
the tires and shocks. They were both a safety concern after sitting all that time. The original Goodyear tires are
wrapped in plastic and the original shocks are in a box in my garage and is part of this deal if wanted. Having the
original tires is unique if you ever want to show the car. Carr's Corvettes changed all the oils and flushed all
the other fluids like the radiator and brakes. The engine was designed by Lotus and built by Mercury Marine for GM, they produced it for 6 years. From what I have
read this motor was the basis for the Cadillac NorthStar which was built for years and quite reliable. In 1990 the
LT-5 had 375 HP and 370 ft lbs of torque. It has a valet key which if turned off reduces the HP and helps to stop
others from driving it hard while your enjoying dinner. The top speed on this car is rated at 180 MPH.
Automobile-catalog.com has several pages of statistics and specifications related to this car.
This car is all original and the only 2 things that I have taken off the car (tires and shocks), I have if you want
them. The car runs and drives like a 25 year old brand new car. It drives great around the city and on the freeway.
As I mentioned in the condition section above, the only issue with the car that I know of is one of the seat belts
sticks sometimes when you pull it out.
If you have ever wanted a C4 ZR1 this is one you don't want to pass on. It's a beautiful car and the only thing it
needs is a good new owner. The car has never seen rain since I owned it and the doctor told me the same thing for
the 24 years he owned it. Once you see the under carriage of the car you will understand. If you need to ship the
car, once you find the shipper you are comfortable with, I will help them to get it loaded.
The last thing I have is to answer the question of why am I selling it. The truth is I have several cars. I ordered
a 2016 Z06 and in order to keep peace in the household I have to give up 2 cars to get one new Z06. It was hard but
I think it will be worth it.
The car is being sold in as is condition. I will answer any questions you have the best that I can. Thanks and good
luck.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
