I have to fess up... my interest in the ZR-1 was initially (1) LT5 and (2) a wonderful piece of Corvette lore... I was not really taken by the body style. I seemed a if there were C1,2 & 3 then C5 and C6 'and oh yes then there was a C4 in there.." But as I began to look more and more at the car the design began to appeal to me and I as wrote for an article "I admit what first drew me was the heart of the beast and not so much its clothing much like a first date that maybe had a few visible flaws, but a wonderful heart and personality. But as time went by I began to appreciate the ZR-1 in all of its attributes..."

It did not take long before I liked the design...both original and revised (although more 90s were produced, I feel they remain the more exclusive due to being unique in design compared to the non ZR C4 ... WHY GM put the ZR butt on all C4s is beyond me

). I also noticed that the C4 has a "lighter" look to it over the C5 and C6....I did a photo shoot of my ZR and C6 together and to me it just looks smaller? lighter? (yes actual weight the ZR is about 300 lbs heavier than the C6 and the C6 makes all other of the Cs' aerodynamic bricks)

But yes...I very much like the design of the 90 ZR-1
