Default ZR1/ZR-1 pics

Here are a few shots of two very different approaches to a 550 rwhp uber Vette, separated by two decades.

Both the zr1 and zr-1 are beautiful. The 1990 Zr-1 really does like tiny and low slung compared to the c6. Looks like the 1990 would be more aerodynamic. looks like it has a lot less frontal area to push through the wind.

I will say the Ferrari looks much more dated then the c4. The C4 still looks classy and stylish. I am partial to the c4 zr-1. I did have one.

The ferrari (no offense) looks cartoonish maybe even with a slight hint of a kit car look to it. C4 is much better looking.

Looks like a B&B exhaust. Are you running and X pipe also?

How does the 415 compare with the LS9? I imagine that both put out about the same HP.

True, but they couldn't be more different in personality. The 415 is rumbly, cammy, and revvy, an the LS9 is a comparatively quiet torque monster. I'll update this with hard numbers once I get the LS9 fully broken in.

Now all you need is the white 70's ZR1 on Ebay and you will have the full set!

Can you give us the specs of the C4 ZR-1?
I have a lot of people asking me about it. They love the C4 more than the C6.

Nice pair Sanjay. I agree with your statement about the new ZR-1 to the C4 ZR1 , mine is a 441 inch Haibeck car.
