"Just two years after GM had transformed Larry Shinoda’s “Mako Shark II” concept car into the luridly curvaceous third-generation Corvette, the ZR-1 package spiced things up further. The special option package took the bigger 350 cubic inch smallblock and bolted up a number of racing modifications, such as solid lifters, to make a full 70 horsepower more than stock. With so much power on tap, GM’s engineers then devoted some attention to making the ZR-1 stop and turn. Bigger power brakes, racing suspension, and stabilizer bars front and rear helped the ZR-1 become the ultimate smallblock-powered Corvette, and gave it superior handling to the big-block cars. While the ZR-1 was an expensive upgrade, it was also a great performer, so it’s surprising that only 53 Corvettes were specified with the package in 1970. That means that in addition to being fast and beautiful, it’s also exceedingly rare—a boon for collectors and auction houses--as well as the lucky few who get to drive the ZR-1."—Official description[1]
The 1970 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is a front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car by Chevrolet.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 2 and in all subsequent main series titles.
Synopsis[]
Dubbed "Special Purpose Engine Package", the 1970 ZR-1 was a performance package with a small-block V8 for the third generation C3 codenamed Chevrolet Corvette, making it a successor to the big-block Corvette Stingray 427.[2]
The ZR-1 name was revived in 1990 for the C4 Corvette, the fourth generation of the Corvette.
