mines the best cause its got my name on the title. Wanted one starting back in 65 or 6..got this ugly ducking last year, I M NOW 66. don't NEED PIC, JUST CLOSE EYES AND THINK UGLY.
I have an 85 Gold Metallic, I love the color now and get lots of compliments. Don't call her ugly...she's unique.
How much power are you running? I ask, because I want 3.73 - 3.90 gears from the 3.45 I have with a 700r, but I'm afraid it will not be a good move. I do have 315s all around for it but not on it, 275s get no traction.
I don't care too much about mpg, but it is nice to get 20. My stall is a little much for my gear too, but just over idle is 70mph.
I wish I could figure it out some how or just add more power I guess. Oh yeah then the trans is too weak..
No idea, never had it on a dyno. I ran 12.4 @ 114 (I think on the MPH, can't find the slip) with a terrible 2.x 60' time. With some real tires I think it could be in the high 11's. I had the trans built by a local guy that builds a lot of high HP stuff for drag racers around here. The trans is not even something I think about. The rear and half shafts will be dealt with next if I ever get inclined to tear it apart.
polo who built your trans? And I remember seeing an aftermarket shifter in it? Nokones, you got some sweet C4s
Me? Mine was built and rebuilt by Arrow trans in WI. It's supposed to hold more than 750hp, but my motor with a shot can push 1200hp, so trans is not taxed. Motor only 650-700hp.
My shifter is a cut down stocker, and a custom piece I made for selecting gears with a manual ball. No button, you push the whole thing down.

Jeff,
Love the placement of the ZR-1 fender badge on this one and the wheels always look killer sorry to hear you aren't loving them. You've put a LOT into that ZR-1 and it shows.[/IMG]

Thanks Daniel,it was time for a change so I put the emblem back on the hood. Yes the Black widows are nice but with only 8 built a bit scarce.
This wooden dash is gorgeous! My husband is interested in doing this to his 1987 C4. Would you please tell me how you went about doing this installation?I’d greatly appreciate it!
