Thanks for posting that nine! I was pretty good with the internet acronyms, but you answered quite a few of my car related ones.

I'm new to the site and really impressed with this forum. I have a 1997 C5 in which i will be taking the LS1 and putting it in a kit car i've been working on. I want to pump up the power to maybe 500 hp. Can anyone recommend a site or reputable place in the South East? What type of modification would you recommend? I want to drive this car mainly for the street and limited track use. Thanks! Freytag

The ZR-1 got its model designation from the "ZR-1'' option package, which added $27,016-$31,683 to the standard Corvette hardtop's list price -- making it the most expensive auto option in Chevy history.
