1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1

What we have right here was the first modern Corvette model. The 1990 ZR-1 was one of the first Corvettes to use fuel injection. That switch to fuel injection made the Corvette a much smoother-running car and increased performance dramatically. The ZR-1 was a true road car in every sense of the word (via Car & Driver).

The ZR-1 was a pleasant mix of road manners and performance. Although the body of the car was still outdated, the new technology under the hood made a difference. The automotive press often downplayed the C4 Corvette, but the ZR-1 completely changed the game.
