Jeff,
Thank you for catching that. I've been going over so many articles from so many years and try to crunch it all down into short burst to catch the imagination that sometimes the way the words are conveyed get blurred. You know the old saying "I wish I had a second pair of eyes"? Ha Ha yeah, that's an understatement in this adventure. What would be your recommendation on how I can write that post to best convey my message?
Appreciate the input.
Best Regards,
Stan

This is a direct quote from http://www.corvetteforum.com/article...-and-overview/

"The C4 ZR-1 Corvette began production in 1990. It featured an engine
built by Lotus, which was then a subsidiary of GM. This engine had an
aluminum block, four overhead camshafts, and 32 valves. The motor also
had an air-management system. This allowed a ?part throttle? condition
which provided the option of turning off eight of the 16 intake runners
and fuel injectors. A valet key allowed the driver to switch between
full and normal throttle. Normal throttle produced 200 horsepower; at
full throttle, the engine put out 375 horse power.

At the time, General Motors had nowhere to manufacture the C4 ZR-1
engine, so it was produced by an outside manufacturer, Mercury Marine,
in Stillwater, Oklahoma, U.S.A.

Lotus also helped develop the ZR-1’s suspension system. Known as the
FX3, this ?active suspension system? would soon become the foundation
for all optional Corvette suspension systems."
