1990 Chevrolet Corvette 2 Dr STD Convertible

Review

Bought it new and store it every winter. It is completely original down to the tires. Each spring is a kick in the pants when it is brought out of the garage. The 6 speed shifts smoothly and easily tops 100 in 3rd. On trips it always gets at least 28 miles per gallon. What more could you ask for...and when I bought it there was a $10k factory incentive so it only cost $28k new. WOW!!

Favorite Features

Sophisticated power torques right up to the red line. 6 speed is a pleasure to shift. Classic shape will never go out of style. Starts immediately after 6month storage each winter. Very reliable car.

Suggested Improvements

Diconnect shift restrictor that forces 1 to 4 shifts under low power (its easy to do). Install an exhaust system that lets the car sound like it goes.

Review

I own an 87 Corvette - only 30,000 miles on it - runs like a new car, performs like a race car. Chev was right at the top of their game. IT's a joy to work on, modify and lots of stuff to buy to make it even better... cheap to buy used, and cheap to modify to stellar levels [compared to other high po cars]. No problems, except the alarm system.

Favorite Features

Power, style, handling... and complete disappearance of roof... did I mention power? Pin you in your seat and keep you there to 100MPH...

Suggested Improvements

Relax the car alarm system - biggest headache of all. Thankfully there is a kit to remove it.

Bought My 1986 Z51 Coupe this Summer and it Simple Destroys Any Other Car I've Ever Owned!! I Can Not Say Enough About the Sheer Amount of Torque in These Cars!! People Talk about H.P. but thats because They Do Not Understand what Chevy and Every Corvette Owner Knows,YOU CANNOT REPLACE THE POWER TORQUE!! Any any Gear(I have the 4 + 3) I Can Snap a Neck Back at the Drop of a Dime it is Amazing for a Car that is Almost 20 Years Old and Really has No Rivals Other than Exotics,NEW 2003 Cobras or of Course Other Vettes!! Please at Any Chance You Get In Life at Least Test Drive One of these Animals!!!

ZR-1 After 10 years of driving

Written by: Ken M. on 04/01/2002

1990 Chevrolet Corvette 2 Dr ZR1 Coupe

Review

Just a thrill and fun car to drive. I thought that the "muscle" cars like from the 60's would never come back. I was wrong. I bought mine with 12500 miles on it, was just broken in and ready to really go!

Favorite Features

The LT-5 Engine (WOW) and the ZF 6 speed transmission.

Suggested Improvements

The body was just too close to the "regular" Corvette. Many people could not tell that the entire rear of the ZR-1 was much wider than a "regular" Corvette.
