Interior cut up for roll cage.

The add mentions forced induction, I didn't see any blower mounted on the engine, unless they are referring to the NOS????

Probably not a bad buy at that price.

"Forced Induction", (note sign on air cleaner), is the brand name of that bumper breather intake/air filter housing, not a blower.

Makes you wonder what engine mods it has, if any. That nitrous bottle is a major minus as far as I'm concerned.

At this low ebb time for ZR-1 prices, I'm thinking "twelveish"? It's got a lot of expensive gear on it, but it 'aint no creampuff.

Went back and looked again, there is no High Mount Brake Light????? Something is fishy.....

i think i've seen this car on ebay before, remember the door panels. the lack of high mount doesn't bother me, some people take it off based on what kind of racing they're doing. If it was 10 years ago depending on what the shot is, the spray wouldn't bother me. but these cars and getting long in the tooth and it's getting harder to keep stock versions running properly. I'll pass on this one.

I'm pretty sure it was listed within the last year, too.

if it didn't have these modifications it would be a 30K+ car!

Huh?

I think it's kinda "Bad A$$". But, I would worry about the engineering also. If someone offered me it for where it's at right now, $8100, I would take it......much more, no. It probably runs great because it's been whooped on forever, but the piper will have to get paid. Could you imagine having to get out of that thing? People complain about mine, with the roll bar legs beside the seats!!!!

It could have been more tastefully done instead of just cutting up stuff to go racing. Take the panels off and make some new ones that fit the purpose. keep it clean/ professional looking. Not a every day driver for sure.
