Yes, Road and Track magazine took the ZR-32 out for a full performance review, I think I remember both road course and Drag tests were done. I should still have a copy of the magazine in my archives.

This is the build sheet for EX5011 and it is not an active suspension car. Way too early, as far as I know there were no active cars in the 87 run of KOH cars, at least none of them have it on the build sheets. I believe the selective ride vehicle refers to the first FX 3 cars. I will ask Geoff this weekend.

JP I got to ask about the transmission, the one I got from with the engine and wheels (see the thread on Queenies engine story) was an 1989 build date. From this I surmise you left the trans from EX5011 in the roadster and just replaced the engine since it would not have been visible, true?

Do you have the ecm from EX5011? How about the DIS module from under the plenum. He gave me what he claimed was the ecm from the car but it is a LT4 ecm. The items I mentioned are very rare and if possible I would like to acquire them. You need to read the Queenie threads as they intermingle information on all the prototypes together. May I post the photographs here with your explanation? It will help make our knowledge better. Do you remember who came from GM and wired the Z32 car?

Check out the pictures and information that we had guessed so far and welcome to the net as you have really helped fill in some of the gaps.

WELCOME back Eric I knew you were still out there. I guess you read the NCM/NCRS posts about Queenie.

Here is all I have of the ZR-1, Still from the press opening day, I only took a couple pictures. The ZR-1 was probably no more than a week old in this picture. We took delivery of it and immediately painted it Plum Crazy, probably no more than a few days (if that) before the opening

Nope, I remember it was conventional suspension.

Yknow I was going to say I was almost sure we got a new transmission, but I have one picture showing the new engine attached to what looks like the sandblasted transmission so you may be right about that.

I am sorry I don't have or remember all the details, remember this was 24 years ago. I do not have any parts, the only thing I had was the Key cylinder, Key and ID fob, though now I cant find it. I would have to think we used the ECM in the ZR-32, the DIS module was removed and stored along with the EX5011 motor parts so it may have been misplaced along the line somewhere. The ZR-32 was custom Wired by Ron Francis, I really have no Idea who came out from GM, what I remember was a team of engineers came out to check the wiring and program the ECM before the engine was started. I was a fabricator on the project, most of that other work was arranged by Chuck Lombardo, and most of the Chevy arrangements were made through Jim Perkins, who was the General Manager of Chevrolet at the time.

Yes you may post any of my photographs, I appreciate you keeping my name on them.

Yeah I "mis-spoke" I know it wasnt an active I ment Selective Ride Vehicle. As you can see it was called out on the build sheet. Thanks for the additional pictures. Tell Chuck Sr I have his garage remote (fount it under the seat!)




not to question you, but #074 was the west coast media car and was used by a few press outlets prior to Cal Street Rods got ahold of it. It was reviewed in Vette magazine and the LA Times prior to CAL. It was built in 4/89.

Here is a shot of it from the LA times:



and Vette:

Hey Brett, Not this year, I am heading to the Indy 500 the following week instead. My bucket list will have one less item after that. I will be at Carlisle helping display a 1963 Corvette show car:
