Your "greater than" sign is backwards.

They are expensive, but that comes with the territory!

I'm not really jumping into this conversation but I just wanted to say it's nice to see someone representing my college. Boomer Sooner!

Lingenfelter is the correct spelling--check out their site. The ZR-1 is definitely on my list of cars to get. Its unique engine (Lotus designed and Mercruiser built, if I remember right) is a masterpiece. I worked for a boss who had a '93 (40th anniversary) and we annihilated a Porsche 930 turbo from a roll at about 50-120mph. 22,000 for said Lingenfelter ZR-1 sounds like a good deal to me.

very well said....very nice engines at the time...but pricy to work on and maintain...not to metion hard to get parts for....i would own in a heart beat...but to mod one its kinda pointless..

thanks for the input, I'm surprised this would be such difficult engine to work on considering the GM guys work on northstars everyday. Good to know.

veerfour05 · 07-09-2008, 10:43 PM

Never done any serious work on one personally but from what I've been told the Northstars are a nightmare to work on.

And as far as the C4 ZR1 being better performance wise than the new Z06 or ZR1 it isn't even a question, the new ones are running with 15 years more or technology and are monsters. But I still think that the old ones are still awesome and cool cars. I saw a black one with exhaust on it a few weeks ago and had to change my pants after I heard him step on it.

The c4 zr1 is still my favorite corvette. If I remember correctly one of the car mags drag raced it with a c5. The zr1 won. Pretty good for being a decade older. I also prefer the c4 styling to the c5 and 6 so I'm kinda biased.

But like other's have said. The engine is a lot more complicated to work on.
