Raced a Z-R1 Vette, Damn!!!!!
I'm drivin around at 1 in the morning, and I come up on a 90's vette, had the Z-R1 badge on the back. I pull up to him at the next light, and roll down the window. We start to talk, and he claims it is the real deal. He told me the motor was a 350 DOCH with 4 valves per cyliner and that he had a few things like headers done to it, he guessed it had 450hp. We are the only two cars on the road and decide to go for it when the light turns. I knew I was screwed. He starts revving, and its so loud it shakes my camaro. I got a near perfect launch, just a slight chirp and my car hooks. He also launched hard, and alread put a car lenght on me by 40. I kept pressing on to 110, and he had me by at least 6 car lenghts. I gave up after about 115, and he kept the hammer down and drove off into the night.
DAMN, i want a Z-R1!!!!

Good death.
ZR1s are no joke. Modded they are scary. I would have faired better with my Z06 cam/intake/Predator combo. But would have still lost I'm sure. I think I am faster than a stock one though.

ZR-1's aren't that fast. I was taking them out with my near stock 305 so you shouldn't have any problems with them. Maybe he had nitrous or something?

maybe you are thinking of a ZX3 Ford Escort?
