I'll echo the sentiment that there's nothing else like a C4 ZR-1, it's American muscle combined with European exoticness. The LT5 at 7000+ rpm is a joy (especially a modded/built one). It may not sound like much, but the extra revs over the 6500 of an LS1/2/3/6 make a big difference (especially in my case with a 7400rpm limit). I've had C5s (including Z06), C6s (GS & ZR1) and C7, and my modded C4 ZR-1 is the most raw, driver focused driving experience of any of them. The only one that compares for fun/uniqueness is my C6 ZR1, but that car has over 200HP more, an incredible sound (between the exhaust & blower whine) and is an even rarer color.

And that's EXACTLY why I'm in love with these cars.. The other Z06's and ZR1's are impressive no doubt, but not terribly unique or different compared to the other models.. The C4 ZR1 is just different.. Different then, and different now.. It's the unicorn of the corvette family.. Plus Mercury Racing has always pumped out the baddest motors in offshore racing. Be cool to have some custom cam covers made up that have Merc Racing on them instead of Corvette
