1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1
At one point in the ’90s, this was considered the fastest production Corvette of all time. The ZR-1 was the epitome of speed at the time and had a host of new technology under the hood as well. GM put together a track car that also had the speed behind it and thus the ZR-1 was born. With a new sleek body and a host of upgrades this car was every bit the track beast that GM wanted to sell (via Top Speed).
The ZR-1 reached a top speed of 179 MPH, which at the time was one of the most impressive numbers to come out of a production sports car. The sleek body shape and the powerful engine helped propel the car with authority, reaching a type of performance that hadn’t been seen in a Corvette model years prior. The car was every bit the excellent riding sports car that everyone hoped for.
