Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
The classic C1 to C3 Corvettes are already too expensive for the average car buyer, and the standard C4, despite its excellent handling, may be low on power for some owners. The solution is ZR1, the mighty C4 Corvette, which could outrun most of the supercars in the early ’90s.
Under the hood, there was LT4, a Lotus-engineered V8 engine with 375 HP (later 400 HP), quad-cam heads, and 32 valves. The engine was an engineering marvel and performed exceptionally well. With a beefed-up suspension, gearbox, and a pair of extra wide rear tires, the Corvette ZR1 could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, making it one of the fastest cars of the era and a true modern classic today (via Motor Biscuit).
