I was never impressed with the C4 90 to 95 ZR1's, I just don't get the big deal hype these car's seem to generate. At around 400 horse it aint 'that special' and only moderatly faster than a typical C4 of the same era, which cost considerably less. If you do need engine work on a ZR1, your pretty much screwed. Crate the engine and ship it off to some speciality shop and take a beating on the price.
It is a pretty cool engine with it's OHC and all, but it's such a waste off technology. Leaves me wondering, "WHAT were they thinking?" You could EASILY build a small block 350 or 400 GM traditional pushrod motor that would make more horses for a LOT less money and kick the ZR1's butt.
Now the modern Vette's DO get my attention. Finally GM has a Vette that can rightfully take it's place among the 'world class' cars of today. And it only took them about 50 years to figure it out...
