I worked for GM when these things were still being delivered and I was sold the first time I drove one. I had to replace a bezel around the radio and it also had a noise the customer would occasionally hear going over bumps. To my JOY I replaced the bexel and found that the power key could be bypassed with a jumper. The power key enable d the 2nd injector for each cyclinder. I have driven a bunch of of fast prodution cars but this was the most memorable ride and the sound of the monster I still hear in my dreams.

I highly doubt that it will fit into a 4th gen engine compartment... too wide

More like 385lbs of torque.

Trap speeds might seem not that good..., but don't forget that this car was built for sustain top-end speeds.

4:10 gears can "quickly" fix any 1/4 mile issues.

There was an LT5 and 6 speed on Ebay yesterday...sold for about $6500. I also think there is just an LT5 engine on there right now also.

Wonder if I could shoehorn one into my 65 Vette

Man DMark, you are the man, I remember a while back someone started a whats the difference between the LT5 and the LT1 and 4.

You and some other LT5 guys posted what you have and man I was drooling hardcore.
I have always loved the ZR1s I remember in middle school when they came out. I had a bunch of folders in my trapper keeper with all ZR1 pictures.

ZR1's (LT5) are nasty.


--------------- 1990-1992 --------------- 1993-1995

SAE Net Power 375 hp @ 6,000 rpm ---------- 405 hp @ 5,800 rpm
SAE Net Torque 370 ft lbs @ 4,800 rpm -------- 385 ft lbs @ 4,800 rpm


Want to know how fast that is?
Just ask someone who owns a Terminator.
