Or here http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t126930.html

As far as I can tell, it's a made up model by some aftermarket package company or the owner himself. Pretty quick though.

It might be old but that is one super badass vette.
So the Z51R is a personal touch.

We made a limited amount of the Z51R. There was a group of guys from Iowa that wanted a special package for them. So we did a head and cam and a few other small things.

The red car, is now owned by (Eric???) He has taken it to the next level of fun as you can see. The supercharger and a ton of other things have been added to the car to make it the monster it is today.
