Huh? The ZR-1 made like 370hp for like $30,000 (plus the retarded dealer markups) in 1990 dollars! You could have purchased a regular C4, and put a 600 hp NASCAR motor in there for cheaper.

I guess the ZR-1 isn't a bad car considering the era it came from (early 90's), but it wasn't the super-car that Vette people make it out to be. A plain old C5 is faster around the track, not to mention the ZO6's or C6's.
