Power was suddenly back in fashion when the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 was launched in 1990, with 0-60mph in 4.3 seconds and a top speed near 175mph. Its 4-cam LT5 engine was built by Mercury Marine engineers, to a Lotus design. Even at a cost of $62,675 – $25,000 more than the basic Corvette - the line formed on the right. This 1991 Corvette ZR1 in the Lewis collection has traveled a mere 7,500 miles from new and shows no wear to speak of, other than lightly on the red leather driver’s seat. The red paint doesn’t have any stone chips. According to the average 15,000 miles that modern motorists travel each year, it is fundamentally new, though the tires have died of old age and will need to be replaced. The engine is the 375-horsepower, 350 cubic-inch, 32-valve, 4-cam V8, backed with a 6-speed manual transmission, power rack-and pinion steering, and disc brakes all round. The ZR1 has bigger brakes and wider tires than mainstream Corvettes, plus the power band of a Ferrari, with a red line of 7,400rpm. This 1991 Model ZR1 has both tops, the red solid roof and the black glass moon roof. ZR1 prices have been soft in recent years, but nothing offers more performance for the money. Without reserve
