1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Start Up, Exhaust, In Depth Review, and Test Drive (Video

- This ZR1 has been in in storage for a good while and I got the great opportunity to do a video review on it. We had to jump the battery since it had been sitting so that's why it was slow starting. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of the 1990 ZR1 while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration and test drive. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
The LT5 engine option cost as much as the car itself, but well worth the cost, as the engine made the car special for that time period. I still have my 1990 ZR-1 and it still runs and sounds great.
you still got it?
I need a zr1 how i get one and what the price my number is 17587189039 st Lucia
Love the 90's ZR1's
26 years old and still going strong 🤘🏻❤😍 I've always loved any type of Generation Corvette and nothing can change that. Happy 63 Years of Corvette
I had my 94 zr1 for 3 months now and im loving it ,I already put bigger cams and forged pistons it now has 527 hp and 489 to the rear wheels and 497 lbs of torque
25 MPG highway? That's quite impressive, especially in comparison to other sports cars at the time.
My god that is the most 90's interior ive ever seen.
lowlyfe03 yeah but it has a top speed of 179mph
+guitars23 so much for fastest production car lmao... Porsche and Ferrari topped 200mph back in the mid 80's.
+Anon Doe The 1995 zr1 had 405 hp at a top speed of 186, this is an earlier model, 1991 at 375 hp at 179 mph. I have a 1973 , so not really comparable.
+Douglas Barr I mean 1990
+Anon Doe but Porsche and Ferrari DIDN'T (and couldn't) set multiple FIA and World Speed endurance records with their cars. Chevrolet and Morrison Motorsport DID with a STOCK ZR1.
The C4 Corvette has got to be one of the best looking cars of all time in my opinion. I miss the pop out headlights as well, and it is too bad that the newer Corvettes no longer have this feature.
Misbahuddin Hunafa My favorite corvette
Misbahuddin Hunafa couldn't agree more. definitely my favorite generation of the Corvette. and the digital display on the dash makes it even cooler!
Misbahuddin Hunafa Way better looking than the current monstrosity.
To a Corvette lover......this car is a beaut !!!
I love that red interior what a nice corvette!!!!!!
My family owns one of these in all black. I don't care what people say about the looks or the performance, this car is a beast.
Doesn't sound like much by today's standards, but when they came out in the early 90's they were a ball of fire compared to other performance offerings and damn near impossible to get your hands on and cost way more than sticker if you found one...
Anyone who thinks "375 horsepower isn't much by today's standards" doesn't really know what 375 hp is. The L98 V8, which was in the standard non-ZR1 1990 Corvettes, was putting out a "mere" 260 horsepower by comparison.
The Mustang 5.0 was doing only 225 horsepower, and the Firebird Trans Am GTA and Camaro IROC Z28 was only getting 245 hp from the automatic-only cast iron block 5.7 V8.
my favorite corvette, love these cars. I also really like the gauge cluster on these things.
very nice find.
I knew a guy who inherited some money the day he turned 18. He bought one of these brand new and wrapped it around a telephone pole, lol.
+Photo314159 lol
Photo314159 Was he coming back from a Rave at the time??? Ouch!
ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!
That doesn't look like a 1990 5.0 mustang?
Was it yellow 🤔
I own an 01 Convertible 6speed and this is still my dream car 1990 Red/Red ZR-1
I'm 17 years old. This has been my favorite car since I was about 11 and knew anything about cars, and I dream of buying one sometime in my future.
I just bought one this week! Exactly like this; Red with red interior, but with 16,000 miles. It is so clean! I love it so far! This guy says the valet key cuts the power to 250hp, but I believe it is 200hp.
What a simple and classic shape. The best Vette ever. Thanks for the review Kyle!
I love the late 80s early 90s corvette body style VERY COOL
That startup is so cool.
your reviews are so indepth and really give one a sense of what its like to be in these great cars.
Simply Amazing. Congrats on 800 Kyle!
Great car and a great video, someone who shows you how everything works with lots of interior footage. Great colour but would like the seats black leather with red accents on and a mixture of black and red interior. Cool!!!!!!
Great vid, bro! I figured that this Corvette was way ahead of its time. Love it!
Thanks for this video Kyle, I had no clue that this 1990 zr1 was so advanced in technology and features. Quite amazing actually.
At the present time I own a 1990 ZR-1 with only 21,000 miles on the odometer. The LT5 is a great motor, and in 1990 held the record for the indurance race . The engine alone cost as much as the base corvette, which makes the car more valuable today. The ZR-1 handles great and a pleasure to drive.
My dreamcar! No woman can beat this car!!!
I get chills everytime someone closes/opens a car door with the keys in the same hand >.
CentralNintendo1 It becomes natural after awhile
that interior looks very minty! Its also so 90s, but i love it because it came out in the year i was born (1989) based of the 1990 year designation.
sweet ride, hopefully by next summer i will own a C4 ZR1, this car got me into the Corvette whwn i was a kid (the base models never interested me) 4.3 0-60 and 180+mph top speed...dwarfs most of todays cars (many equipped with AWD). What an awesome car!
beautiful car the interior is amazing along with the whole car
I am getting older but basically this is the car that symbolizes late 1980s / 1990 America. It was a good era. The GM ignition bongs remind me of all the rental Cadillacs you could get with that new--car GM smell.
Also, later LT5 engines had 405 horsepower.
One of my dream cars, along with the 80’s Camaro
I really like the way you do these reviews. They are very in depth and show ever thing about the car as i would if i were going to buy a car.
This car one legend
The 90’s corvettes look so much better than the modern ones.
I Just Love The Wheels
That red on red is gorgeous
I was curious who this "Sonny Norris" was on the dash plaque and found his obit. A 67 year old man from Gastonia NC. "A lover of automobiles and a fan of country music and travel." Past away the same month this vid was posted, but after which would make this Vette an early estate sale. 'Ol Sonny is going to be haunting this ride!
that is a BEAUTIFUL Piece of American/British Engineering!
4:19 what a great concept. Alot of really well thought out nooks and crannies in this car neverminding the fact it's a Corvette. You can tell that GM needed more engineers like this in the 90's lol.
gave my head a skirly whirly and asked me if I needed a ride lmao you can get an 80s song like no body's biz on the radio.
I'll tell ya, I dont know what you drive but I love these cars. They make great daily drivers and in the case of this(video) particular car they make great collectors also. C4!! Have a great night :)
That beast is beautiful.
These cars were just off the chart. Id take a zr1 over anything. Love them.
Yes!! The test drive was awesome! The intro was nice too :D
I remember when I was 13 and looking at one of these just in aww of the ZR1 badge because eventhough I couldn't see under the hood I knew what was there.
DOHC 4- valve heads! I still want one... and an 80's countach (with the spoiler lol).
the zr1 wow nice man im glad you get to check our cars like this
Cool!! Love corvettes
Thanks Kyle. Very nice tour indeed.
I have owned 13 porsches but I love this car ...
Love the design of the C4. It's not much of a classic like the C3. But this ZR1 is a collector car imo.
my favorite car from the 90s
The stock exhaust system is restrictive in the inlet diameter of the center muffler something they fixed on the 93 ZR1's. That and better flowing injector housing and heads to boost output to 405 H.P. There is a lot of meat left in the injector housing and plenum so that's why the LT5 comes a live with porting. My 91 received a 510 H.P. package by Marc Haibeck and he achieved 525 H.P. all with the stock bore and stroke. It currently has the stock 3.45 ratio rear and I plan on swapping it out to the 4.10 ratio. My first 91 had headers and big exhaust with the 4.10 gears and she pulled very hard in 5th.
Ahhhhh Sweet ride and ilove how Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded By The Light came on haha
Great car!! It's in amazing condition!
that engine was a gem getting that much hp from a 5.7L V8 took alot of engineering to create. This was back before direct injection was even available. Think about it the engine alone costed $25000 back in the 90s
Freakin awesome! Love those old ZR1's!
Your car stands out
Interior is awesome! Looks like a sleazy Vegas motel room!
I have that same year, except in black
How much was it ?
This is my favorite Corvette.
I'm not a big fan of Corvettes but man that's some car! One thing I will give Corvettes is the sound they make! Especially the 80's-90's ones. Imagine if u really did find a Ford GT! LOL
now this is what im talking about an nice automobile... this is nice... this i would not mind driving everyday :)
Epic Intro! Nice job man! Gotta love those old vettes
The seatbelt chime is the same exact one they still use on all new Chevy's.
@Neal Wang yes
I love this engine!
congrats on your 800th vid
4 guys missed the like button
My god, that car look comfortable.
Kyle nice find there bud. love the video and that car is nice. Nice find there bro.
need to tell the dealership, that they need to start the thing at least once a week and let her idle for a bit to keep the valve seals lubed up and at least take it for a roll once in a while. which im sure they do, but that is why there was little bit of blue smoke when you did the exhaust clips, thats the oil coming from the valve seals.
such an amazing sounding engine
90s forever!
those seats look very comfortable
This was a performance beast 23 years ago.
Beautiful car! Great video saabkyle! My grandpa had one of these back in the day. (I think it was a ZR1, but I'm not sure) He bought it brand new, right around 1990. He has had more than 10 Corvettes ranging from 1969-1999. A 1999 being his current car. He would buy a brand new one every time they changed the style. My uncle also had a 1991 Corvette (non-ZR1) and it was still a blast of a car! It was going to be mine until he sold it. He bought me a Mustang so it's okay. lol Still want the Vette
such a beautiful ZR-1. thx for posting.
7:30 brings new meaning to the term "blowing out the cobwebs"
ChrisFix owns this car! He has one!
OMG THE HEADLIGHTS
Great video as always Kyle! Those ZR1s are awesome!
4.4 Inch bore centers, meaning thats the distance between the centers of each bore, not necessarily the size of them. I don't know if the LT-5 gets 350ci from the same bore/stroke combination but the normal 350 small block chevy has 4" bores by a 3.48" stroke
man what a car
Congratulations to your 800th video Kyle! =)
Great review Kyle! she's a beauty! :)
There are people with C5 and C6 Vettes that envy the C4's stock seats.
seats look so comfortable
That horn
those sandals :O
Yes. Awesome car, and Kyle's sandals are cute too.
True legend.
congrats on the 800th video!!!
the 1984-1996 Chevrolet Corvette was assembled in
Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States
my dream car since after playing Nfs hot pursuit 3 game.
Thinking of buying one as my second car
@gward13 It's for sale, they don't wanna risk anything. Of course you can always buy it and drive it as you please in the full power mode.
Awesome Video Kyle!
Awesome 800th video. Congrats!! Also that Vette seems to be on a flying carpet.
what a nice sound. i drove one at the auto auctions. but not enough room to get out of second gear lol
thank you thank you oooh thank YOUUUUU
and color is so sharp so clear and than we thank israel for the chip HD
again thank you
I am really loving the red iterior.
KYLE.....
EXCELLENT, HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE, BECAUSE I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING.
LOTS OF TIME GIVEN TO EVERY SWITCH AND AREA INSIDE CAR, AND OUTSIDE. AND A ROADTEST. CLEAR SIMPLE WORDS EVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND.
IN MY DREAM 140 CAR GARRAGE ARE A FEW ZR-1, IN FEW DIFFERENT COLOURS. I LOVE THEM. WONDER WHAT PERFORMANCE FIGURES ARE FOR THE ZR-1, WITH PERFORMANCE VALET KEY TURNED OFF ???
THANK YOU AGAIN, DARNA
Great car!! even though im more of a fan of later c4's any c4 (ESPECAILLY this zr-1) make me excited
long live the c4, great video!
