Build date is another question, it all depends on where in the plant the car is considered built? When it rolls off the assembly line, rolls onto the dyno, its rolled out of the plant. No matter though, it would be consistent throughout the model year. There's going to be a few after your car, based solely on VINs.
1990 ZR-1's used VIN's 1G1YZ23JxL5800001 through 1G1YZ23JxL5803049.
I used to work beside the online VIN printer, access to it was limited.

Build date to me would be whatever the build sheet says with the date and time. The rest would be speculation. Mine actually says 23:00 and that's 11 p.m. military time. I found that odd. It also had the dealer it was going too. It is probably not exactly when it was built but it is all we really have that is concrete on paper. Maybe it was when it was totally finished and ready to be dispatched to the assigned dealer. who knows? Back then not all dealers could order this car since they had to have a zr1 trained technician working there to receive one if my sources are correct. I like the 90 model the best anyway so it worked out best. The front end with the different rear end combination along with the tight seats make it feel like a serious car and well tucked in. My c5 coupe felt like I was sliding all over the place. I like them all but some a little more than others. May they all live a long and safe existence.
