All about the "World Class" ZR-1...
The aptly named "King of the Hill" was built from the model years 1990 to 1995 with the last ZR-1 being built on April 28th 1995. Over the six year period of its production, a total of 6,939 ZR-1s were manufactured. Engineered as the "ultimate" Corvette, GM's goal was to produce a "world class" sports car with the very best price:performance ratio. Not only is the ZR-1 is the fastest production Corvette ever built, but with top speeds beyond 180 MPH it is also one of the fastest production cars on the planet. At the heart of the ZR-1 is the LT5 engine... an all aluminum engineering marvel with dual overhead cams, 16 fuel injectors and twice that many valves. Producing 375 hp in the '90 - '92 model years and 405 hp in '93 - '95 model years, the LT5 series represents the pinnacle of production small block V-8 design and has proven to be powerful, rugged, and reliable both on the track and the street.
