For my date with Alicia
we would take this. A 1995 “ZR-1.”
Powered by a 32 valve OHC engine built by Lotus (not General Motors) rated at 405 HP this car was allegedly capable of a top speed of over 175 MPH. Fast for back then. Enough to get you
killed…
Rear tires were huge measuring 315 mm. A popular car magazine back then tested several high end sports cars. The “Z” came in the fastest at a top speed of 167 MPH outrunning the helicopter assigned to document the testing.
The black leather interior was sexy and guaranteed to get you laid.
Definitely a 90’s kids’ “wet dream.”
This particular example went for $41,000 USD at Barrett-Jackson. Not bad. Would be a fun car to drive even today. Try beating the price! You could still get it worked on at most Chevy dealers.
