      My father whom just passed away bought a 95 ZR1 brand new. It was the car I learned to drive manual in. Unfortunately it was destroyed along with everything else when our home was leveled by an EF4 tornado. I’m thinking of selling my Callaway to buy a C4 Zr1. We live not very far from Hennesey Performance and my father always wanted to twin turbo it. So I’m thinking of picking up where he left off. Or possibly creating a 415 stroker out of the lt5. It’s just an insane amount of money. Almost double what I gave for my 427dart ls next2 long block.

      One of the fondest memories I have with my father is our weekly trip up to 180mph. We have almost endless roads that are almost perfect for top end runs. I still have his old ZR1 registry sticker. Life begins at 180

    As a car enthusiast let me start off by saying “HOLY CRAP” !!! “THAT WAS AWESOME”!!! That actually got my heart beating pretty good, I could only imagine the rush I would have riding IN the car on a run like that. Driving next to the tree line really looked bad ass! Hats off to the driver, that was impressive! I don’t believe I would ever have a chance to have an experience like that, because of videos like this one I’m able to do it vicariously. Thanks for the video.

    First time I've ever heard a C4 ZR-1 engine wide open, all the way to top speed. Beautiful noise. The car was very stable, too. I read the C4 was actually developed to be aero-stable up to 200 mph. You got up to about 185 mph, right? Looks like the Corvette engineers did a good job. The original ZR-1 engine always gets lots of praise, but the rest of the C4 is way under-appreciated, today. Thanks for posting!

    Somebody is gonna say it. Might as well be me. That ain't how you down shift bro. It's called Rev matching for a reason.

      @@glencollins4962 I know that's sarcasm but I'll play along as I'm just sitting here riding to work.. for those that don't know... you Rev match when you down shift for two reasons. One so that you don't shock the rear tires. And two so that you don't shock the power train.
      Rev matching when downshifting is simply matching the rpm of the engine to the wheel speed. Simply, if you're running 60 mph in 5th gear and you want todown shift to 4th, you want to blip the throttle to match the rpm you would be at if you were running 60 in 4th. Quite simple. Better for clutch. Eliminates accidental lock up. Less stress on powertrain and drivetrain.
      Now, I wasn't berating the guy. I actually was complimenting him for being brave enough to make the run under those circumstances. But as far as down shifting, revving the engine, letting the rpms fall back down, then dumping the clutch and having the rpms shoot back up..... well that ain't the way its done.
      You do it right, you only hear one Rev.
      This concludes today's lesson
