QUESTION: What is a ZR-1 Corvette and how do I recognize one?
ANS: ZR-1 was an option package (RPO ZR1). The option included a new high performance engine called the LT5. The option also included a change in the body panels from the doors back which made the ZR-1 3" wider in the rear than the standard model Corvette. This extra width was needed to accommodate the new wider tires (Goodyear Z-rated P315/35ZR17) on 11" wide wheels. You also got a new specially laminated "solar" windshield. Option RPO's that were included standard with the ZR1 package were AC1, AC3, AQ9, FX3, LT5. The 6-speed transmission was required also.
It can be a little difficult to tell the difference between a ZR-1 and the standard L98/LT1/LT4 Corvette. But here are some clues:
1. All ZR-1s are coupes.
2. All ZR-1s have the 3rd brake light on top of the hatch or roof area.
3. All ZR-1s are 6-speeds
4. From the rear all ZR-1s have a ZR-1 emblem in the right rear corner.
5. From the rear all ZR-1s have a 1 1/2" spacer between the license plate and the back up light.
6. All ZR-1s have 315/35ZR17 tires and 11" wheels in the rear.
7. Inside all ZR-1s have a "power key" on the center dash below the radio.
8. All ZR-1s 1992 and up have a ZR-1 emblem on the side of the hood.
9. All ZR-1s have a special solar windshield glass with a cutout at the bottom middle for using "garage door openers" or in actuality radar detectors. (Not a heads up display)
10. All 1994 and 1995 ZR-1s have the new 5-spoke wheels.
11. All ZR-1's have a unique VIN number 1G1YZ vs 1G1YY.
12 All ZR-1s have a 8,000 RPM Tach vs 6,000.
QUESTION: Could you buy a ZR-1 convertible?
ANS: No, GM never offer a ZR-1 convertible.
still a very nice and rare car
