Cool Wanted to share my new 'LTx' acquisition with you guys :)

I put my 93 vette on standby and got a little sidetracked by my new acquisition 2 months or so ago. I was driving an e46 m3 and I sold it for.. A beater and a second vette (admittedly in love with the c4 platform as a base to build from). For the last 16 years with my 93 c4 the only car i probably hate to admit id want more than it would be the same year , same color zr1. Well I'm thankful to this point how everything just seemed to work out for me and I picked up an admiral blue 94 zr-1.

Long story short. This is how she looked when I picked her up..


Here's how she looks now. Can't wait to park it side by side with my 93 hopefully one day I can build a mortgage breaking 750 hp NA motor lol.



Here's a quick video I made on YouTube using phone pics throughout the last 2 months.


Here's my build up thread on cf if anyone wanted to check out pics and stuff I couldn't fit in the video

That looks real nice! Curious though on your recipe for 750hp NA?

750 may be stretching it with the lt5 but there are several big inch ones over 700. If I could ever summon the cash to go to one of the reputable builders for this motor my recipe would be similar to that of my370ci lt4 build in my 93. It sounds like this :

Idle quality: don't care
Fuel mileage : don't care
Drive ability: don't care

Maximum hp from 4500- limit with the nastiest cams and biggest cubes (42x+) with every truck in the book the hell with cost

Admittedly the building of such motor is just a dream at this point with 2 little ones unless I sold my 93 and parted it out .. Which won't happen!

Grats! I am picking up my second LT1 next week

Even though LS cars are dirt cheap now, I prefer the LT1 lol.

This car is modeled after the ZR1 body. It doesn't have a LT5 in it though.

That is beautiful. I remember the very first auction I went to as a dealer, I saw a 1991 ZR1 go through for $7000 and I cried a little. I've wanted one ever since and I would definitely copy your style if I got it.

that rear deep dish

as a kid i loved the c4 look, my aunt and uncle had a later 80s model probably tpi, so long ago and i was so young i wouldn't have known anyways. Unfortunatley the c5s and c6 have really grown on me a lot more than the c4s, but you make this car look so good.
