What if... - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Just thinking. If GM had carried on with the ZR-1/LT-5 etc. what features would everyone like to see in a 'new' ZR-1 now.

My list would be something like.

- Appearance close to the C4, prefer the longer look to the C5s & C6s
- 427 CI Quad OHC, wouldnt change much really on basic design
- approx 600 bhp
- Individual coil packs
- 6 speed semi-automatic transmission
- Stiffer chassis using the frame rail technology of the C5/6
- Displacement on demand to keep the fuel bills down when cruising
- Fully active suspension
- Launch control
- Carbon fibre body
- Titanium alloy in key areas
- analog instruments
