Default Re: 1991 ZR-1 Auto Masters "Street Skinner #1" FS/FT

Oh man...I love that color.

I remember that car when Sullivan owned it. I used to hang around AutoMasters a lot back in the day. In fact, I owned a 95 with the StreetSkinner package. It had all the regular StreetSkinner stuff plus a few extras of my own. When JVD and I were done with the project, it made 413 at the wheels SAE-corrected. Back then we used .82 as the correction factor which worked out to 503-hp SAE at the flywheel and that was with stock manifolds and cats.

My car has the 3.45 axle but a number of StreetSkinners had 4.10s. I decided to keep the stock axle as I was not regularly drag racing the car and I liked the idea of it being capable of 180-mph.

Sadly, the StreetSkinner package didn't see to help the selling price when I let the car go. I ended up taking just a bit less than your current asking price, but then...the paint on my car wasn't as nice. Actually, just about everything appearance-wise about your car was just a bit better than mine.
