Learning more and more about my recently purchased 1990 ZR1 #0106. It was a GM car until 1995. My question is does anyone know what CPC Group Engineering Center 30003 Van Dyke RM. A106 Warren MI is or was. That is who my car was titled too til 1995. Also found a article that stated the first 1990 ZR1 on public roads was #0114 purchased from a dealership in Marietta GA. Any help or info would be great. Trying to learn as much as possible as fast as possible.

No offense to anyone who is a Engineer , but I bet those guys with pocket protectors and slide rules had some fun in #0106 back in the day.....

None taken its our job to test the limits of the gear. Cool that is one of the first. There are some guys on here or on Corvette Forum that work for GM maybe they can pull some records. Knowing the color and other details maybe helpful. Did you look on the hood (when open) for any signatures? You may want to pull the seat bottom cushions and see what you find under there. I found the original purchase receipt for my old 83 Volvo that way.

That would be great to find out more info.....No signature under the hood but the previous owner showed me what looked like a piece of masking tape on the pass. visor mirror. Ill have to look at it again and try to figure out what is written on it. The previous owner said the first owner told him it had to do with being a GM car and to never take it off....

Oh yea its Red with Red interior, looks like the Engineers put about 21000 on it from 90-95. I got a ton of documentation, a NOS from air dam, a NOS in line fuel filter, a NOS serpentine belt, and the original tires from the previous owner.

Based on the VIN data that I collected, the first 1990 sold to the public was #0019.

Interestingly, VIN's 0020,0021,0023 to 0027, 0029 to 0031 were all European Export cars.

Thanks for the info. My info was a photo copy of a magazine article with all the paper work that came with my car but it doesn't have a date or what magazine it was from.
