The haters wanna hate, hate, hate on the fourth-generation Chevrolet Corvette, but I think it's actually a pretty interesting machine, and one that successfully moved a legendary nameplate into the modern era. And of all C4 Corvettes, none stand above the mighty Corvette ZR-1.
Developed with aid from Lotus and equipped with a Mercury Marine-built 5.7-liter LT5 V8 engine, the ZR-1 was an incredibly high tech sports car and a legitimate exotic-fighter. That V8 put out 375 horsepower, which was a hell of a lot back in the early 1990s (and is nothing to sneeze at today, if I do say so myself.)
Now's your chance to not only own a ZR-1, but a perfect, time capsule-grade ZR-1 with just 126 miles on the odometer. Sweet sassy molassy, get out the checkbook and pay grandma for the rub down!
The car in question is , where it's going for just $31,100 as of this writing. The seller, Paramount Classic Cars in North Carolina, list no reserve, but are offering it straight up .
It seems like a fair price to me for a car that has every shot at being a collector's item, and also deserves to be driven in a most angry, rapid fashion. Any takers out there?
