    知らない事が沢山有りました。
    日本で1994年式のzr-1に乗って居ます。
    c4のスタイリングが大好きです。
    数の少ない車体を何年も掛かって見つけました。
    大切に乗っていきたいと思います。
    とても、役に立つ動画をありがとう!!

    Talk about a detailed overview of the ZR1. I was wondering if the changes started in the doors. Now I know this is true. Thank you for making this long and detailed video. Hope that ZR1 gives you many years of smiles.

    I've had my 1991 ZR-1 almost 30 years now and thought I knew a lot about the differences between the two cars. Consider me 'schooled'. Well done, Amigo! (subbed). Hawk ^v^

    Corvette ZR1 is a supercar of its day..beautiful design as with all Corvettes..there is no other marque thats in its continuous generations is as good looking.from 1953 to 2020...no car comes close..although most cars generations last that long.

    Thanks for the informative video. With COVID restrictions in place, I was not able to travel to Corvettes at Carlisle to see you and your wife this year as I live in Canada. I don’t know why these C4 Corvettes (standard and ZR1) are so underrated. Videos like these point out all the great engineering GM and Lotus did. It really makes me appreciate my 93 LT1 6 speed. Best regards and hope to see you next year at Corvettes at Carlisle.

    • @whatta7793
      @whatta7793 Před 4 měsíci

      If I'm not mistaken, when Chevrolet designed this car, they had designed it so that a radar detector couldn't detect it until it was within 1500-2000 feet, I could be a little wrong on that number, but pretty sure its in that range. Most vehicles are detectible much sooner than being at a distance of only 1500-2000 feet.

  • @staffy73
    @staffy73 Před 2 lety +1

    😂 that radar detector cut out down by the base of the windshield explanation was hilarious! Garage door opener? Yeah, ok. That’s probably what was written in the owner’s manual since at the time GM couldn’t condone a device made for breaking a specific law

    GREAT REVIEW

  • @Bridging_the_Political_Divide

    I dont care if the new Vettes are a bit faster, these are the ultimate Corvette. Sleek, sexy, curvaceous just like an exotic sports car should. The newer Vettes are too square and upright. The late C4s were the last sexy Corvette.

    • @JohnCollins-mm5dq
      @JohnCollins-mm5dq Před 3 lety

      It's more than a bit faster than a c4. About 4/5 hundred hp faster lol

    • @Bridging_the_Political_Divide
      @Bridging_the_Political_Divide Před 3 lety +3

      @@JohnCollins-mm5dq Well, I guess if a late model Z06 runs the 1/4 in 11sec flat, and a typical early C4 runs it in 14sec, thats 21.5% faster. And are you really comparing new $100k cars to 35 year old $10k used cars? If you enjoy hatin on older Vettes, why are you watching older Vette segments?

  • @billymanilli
    @billymanilli Před 3 lety

    Awesome vid, man! Thanks for sharing! The ZR1 is also physically wider too, right? I worked at "Billy Bob's Fast Expensive Cars" (used to be Corvette Country) in Jackson, NJ, on and off for several years... dunno if you've heard of them. Worked on a lot of NCRS cars there... mainly "midyears", though... it was a pretty cool experience!
    edit: oh yeah, we also had vin#....00001 94 or 95 ZR1 in our showroom for a while! It was yellow... Saw, and worked on, some really unique cars there, thinking back on it. miss that place sometimes!

    I am actually trying to get some info for a 85 Greenwood that I have, I don't know much about it, and the original owner passed away, and his wife sold it to me, so I haven't been able to find much info on it, or if its in fact an original "Greenwood" I also own a 84 c4 manual and also an 85 c4 automatic, and this one feels nothing like it, much more aggressive, it appears to look stock, so I was hoping to know if Greenwood would do performance upgrades or if it was just a body kit? any info would help! I truly appreciate your help!! Definitely a subscriber now!! 🙌🏻

    Good review. Personally I always hated that the 3rd brake light on the Z was on the roof of the hatch. That makes the car look older and less sleek in my opinion. My first Vette was a 1993 base model. It was a fun car until a drunk driver drove into it head on at 55mph.

      C4 is technically the last real corvette analog stiff steering it’s a car you truly have to drive. C5 is the beginning of corvette catering to the masses men and women alike base model is plenty quick and reliable zr1 is an animal of a car tbh it’s completely unusable in most situations
