Road & Track Fastest Cars In America (1995) VHS video - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

WARP TEN · 06-01-2021

Great video. I remember seeing it before but it is still fun to watch. Loved seeing John Lingenfelter. The time he came to Bowling Green and gave drag racing lessons was a very memorable time; so sad to lose him so young. The stock ZR-1 certainly acquitted itself well in top speed at 178 but whomever was driving it for the 0-60 time was a bit slower than I remember our cars going. Even according to GM's usually conservative numbers, the stock '95 ZR-1 would do 0-60 in 4.8 seconds. Anyway, thanks for posting this. --Bob
