Bought another ZR-1!!
Well I could not resit a decent deal. Over the weekend I bought a 94, 38K miles, white with black. Needs a little TLC but over all not bad. Paid 19K for it and I am the third owner.I have a 91 already.
I do have a couple of questions though.
The kid I bought it from only had it for a short time and the information is scetchy at best.He is looking for the original owners phone number and maybe I can get more info.
1. Full power mode is on all the time even without the power light on.I was told that the computer was modified. Any thoughts.
2.The car seems very powerful, almost as if it was ported or something.Can just computer and cat back make that much differance?The plenum and valve covers have been painted the wrong color, although a very good job. Maybe others mods have been done.
3.Anyone want to trade a brand new B&B system for stock, to loud for me!!

2. Yes if he or the previous owner took the time to get the top end powdercoated he probably had the top end ported as well dont forget your Z is rated over 400 hp from the factory without mods. He prob has a performamance PROM and the B&Bs can add another 5 to 7hp. Without headers your prob at 420/425hp.
3. Your on your own lol if you can get a set of CORSA powerp ulses your will be much happier.
Enjoy the ride

On the plenum, look for any casting marks. Should see some small peaks that are in a stright line in the runner. Should be somewhat rough.
