Used 1994 Chevrolet Corvette for sale in Englewood, Colorado
The aluminum LT5 V8 found under the hood of this beautiful Corvette is a modern work of automotive art. Originally intended to be a simple set of 16-valve cylinder heads atop a basic Chevrolet small block, the Lotus engineers assigned to the project quickly realized there was no cost-effective way to build such a beast. Instead, they designed a world class V8 which shared basic dimensions with Chevrolets storied small block. The result is a 32-valve, four cam powerhouse that features a trick dual-path induction system, 405 horsepower and 385 lb./ft. of torque. The aesthetically pleasing piece was assembled by Mercury Marine, whose specialization in aluminum casting won them the contract; and when fitted under the Corvettes clamshell hood, it became an ultra-performance world record holder. Behind that hot LT5 is a proven ZF 6-speed manual, which has been fitted with a much appreciated skip shift eliminator, distributes power to a factory Corvette rear end. That combination works great in conjunction with the motors ability to shut down half its intake runners, making this Vette plenty quick off the line and a joy to cruise on the highway. All ZR-1s have a Lotus-tuned FX3 double A-arm front and independent rear suspension which features electronic traction control and driver adjustable active ride control. Four wheel Lotus-tuned power disc brakes combine with Lotus-tuned power steering to keep all that power productive and pointed straight. Factory dual exhaust runs from original equipment manifolds into two rear mounted mufflers just before GMs familiar square exhaust tips. And the cars torque meets the pavement through a killer set of 17 inch alloy wheels which wear super wide 285/40 front and 315/35 rear Nitto NT555 Extreme Performance radials.
