Description

For sale at Blackdog Performance Cars is a professionally modified 1993 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1. The already incredible LT5 has been increased from 350 CID and 405 horsepower to 415 CID and 600 horsepower!! Finished in the limited production Bright Red exterior paint and beautiful red leather interior, this ZR-1 is in a class all by itself. The fourth generation Corvette, or C4, had a production run from 1984 to 1996. In the late 80’s the Corvette was dominating SCCA Showroom Stock Series, one Corvette Engineer wanted to go a little further, and create a Super Vette. With the help of the newly acquired Lotus Engineering, Chevrolet put some of Lotus’ expertise to work in designing what would become the all-aluminum DOHC LT5 V8 engine that would power the ZR-1 Corvette, Chevrolet’s 'Super Car.'The LT5 was a 350 CID animal, from 1990 to 1992 it produced 375 horsepower, and in 1993 it was beefed up and produced 405 horsepower for the remainder of the production run. Chevrolet actually subbed the production of the LT5 to Mercury Marine in Stillwater, OK, due to their extensive history and experience in building high performance aluminum engines. It was completely hand-made, and was the only official Corvette engine not built by Chevrolet. The C4 ZR-1 was produced for the model years 1990 to 1995. There was a rumor that an even more powerful LT5 was in the works for 1996, but the program was scratched, and unfortunately so were the engine parts, they literally threw everything away!This particular Bright Red Beauty has received a few engine modifications, it now sits at 415 CID and produces a whopping 600 horsepower! A ZF close-ratio, 6-speed manual transmission transfers those ponies to the heavy-duty, fully independent, Posi-Trac rear differential with 3.45 gears. The massive 335/35ZR17 rear wheels get the much-needed traction to propel this Super Vette into lightspeed. A big brake conversion and coil over shocks have been installed on all four corners to improve handling and stopping power when desired.The Bright Red paint shines beautifully. For being 25 years old the paint has held up extremely well. The red leather interior is in like new condition, with just a tiny bit of wear on the driver’s seat bolster. Amazingly, it is as soft as it looks, as you sit in the driver’s seat the leather engulfs your entire body. This 93’ ZR-1 has been extremely we cared for its entire life. Tasteful upgrades to the engine and suspension have brought this ZR-1 into the 21st century and it is now ready for a new owner to enjoy on the road or just show it off an any car show or cruise.For more pictures and a video visit or our showroom just north of Chicago in Lincolnshire, IL.
