Re: (scorp508)
Well you have five different engines, about 8 different power ratings, and 5 different trannies to choose from.
I think both the fastest and the quickest were the yellow 87's with one oil pump bolt ;)
:cool:

Re: (scorp508)
top speed would definitely be a ZR-1, probably 95 guessing somewhere in the 180-190 range, and 0-60 in about 4.6 seconds, LT4 should be slightly slower 0-60. But maybe not with a good driver

Re: (bogus)

Re: Top speed (Springer's 95)
Look at the web site for the road tests. The first year of the ZR1 LT5 was rated at about 375 H.P. and the last year was about 405 H.P. if I remember correctly and as they say MORE IS BETTER. :)

From what I have gathered the ZR1s really didn't show any performance gains at all between the two HP ratings.
Every LT5 put out a little different HP than the one next to it. They were hand assembled, so tolerences were a little different on all of them. The HP #s that are given out aren't how much the engine makes, but the "minimal guaranteed" HP it makes at the crank. Some were more than the # stated.

Re: Top speed (CowboyNVette)
Hi Boots,
We have the SAME Vette's. I will have a picture on my posts soon.
Mine is a 1996 LT4 6 Speed Coupe Torch Red with Light Biege and Black in side, all options but select ride, 1 of 119, Rottie @lightstream.net has been a big help, I sent him my RPO codes and he printed out all of my options and how many were made. I since have learned this site has a RPO listing as do other places.
I have done the following to mine.
Hyper-Tech power Programmer III
160 degree stat
K&N Open Air Frame and Filter
Maf sensor relocated in Air Box
Air Foil in throttle body
Cooliant By Pass under throttle body
Breathless Performance Adjustable fuel Regulator
Fiske FM 10 Wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport tires
The exhaust is next(Need more MONEY)
:) :chevy :seeya
