[*89x2*]

Brad, for some reason, when I went to merge a helpful tip on adding picture attachments to your post, the whole post went, poof :eek

..it vanished hnoes :W ;squint:


I was able to grab a copy of your thread, and here is the transcript

what does this package consist of ? the car has the polished 93-95 zr1 wheels , bembro brakes , coilovers and corsa exhaust . 40k miles is white with red guts . what would this car be worth? need your guys help so I can make a decent decision on her . thanx for your help in advance

Not sure what they have been selling for, but there is another one for sale in VT on Cars.com owned by Nick Cage ?? for 30k. But I like the white one better !! As I'm sure you know the value has dropped sharply. I feel due to the lack of parts or qualified techs to repair them. I have seen some clean low mile stock ZR1 go for 18-20K
Alot of bang for the buck.

does anyone know what makes up a callaway super natural 475 zr1 ? i have just purdhased one .white withred guts . .it has coilovers,bembo brakes , but dont really know what motor work they do to them can you help ? thanx in advance ps what are they worth . i gave a 156k zr1 and 8k for a 40k mile car

I don't know the specifics of the Supernatural 475 other than to tell you that the "475" refers to its power output.

In general, to make 475 hp from the LT5 required a "top end" job which was usually head porting, injector housing porting and sometimes partial porting of the intake plenum. Additionally, some vendors installed throttle bodies with larger main bores.

The cams were usually retimed. Sometimes so-called "RB" cams were fitted.

An lower-restriction, aftermarket exhaust was installed.

And, of course, the ECM calibration was canged.

Done right, this took an LT5 to about 475 SAE net.
