1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Start Up, Exhaust, In Depth Review, and Test Drive (Video  

The LT5 engine option cost as much as the car itself, but well worth the cost, as the engine made the car special for that time period. I still have my 1990 ZR-1 and it still runs and sounds great.

26 years old and still going strong 🤘🏻❤😍 I've always loved any type of Generation Corvette and nothing can change that. Happy 63 Years of Corvette

Love the 90's ZR1's

25 MPG highway? That's quite impressive, especially in comparison to other sports cars at the time.

Simply Amazing. Congrats on 800 Kyle!

your reviews are so indepth and really give one a sense of what its like to be in these great cars.

Great vid, bro! I figured that this Corvette was way ahead of its time. Love it!

my favorite corvette, love these cars. I also really like the gauge cluster on these things. very nice find.

My god that is the most 90's interior ive ever seen.

I really like the way you do these reviews. They are very in depth and show ever thing about the car as i would if i were going to buy a car.

I had my 94 zr1 for 3 months now and im loving it ,I already put bigger cams and forged pistons it now has 527 hp and 489 to the rear wheels and 497 lbs of torque

I love that red interior what a nice corvette!!!!!!

Thanks for this video Kyle, I had no clue that this 1990 zr1 was so advanced in technology and features. Quite amazing actually.

To a Corvette lover......this car is a beaut !!!

I knew a guy who inherited some money the day he turned 18. He bought one of these brand new and wrapped it around a telephone pole, lol.

I own an 01 Convertible 6speed and this is still my dream car 1990 Red/Red ZR-1

Great car and a great video, someone who shows you how everything works with lots of interior footage. Great colour but would like the seats black leather with red accents on and a mixture of black and red interior. Cool!!!!!!

Great video as always Kyle! Those ZR1s are awesome!

Awesome Video Kyle!

Yes!! The test drive was awesome! The intro was nice too :D

That startup is so cool.

Doesn't sound like much by today's standards, but when they came out in the early 90's they were a ball of fire compared to other performance offerings and damn near impossible to get your hands on and cost way more than sticker if you found one...

Congratulations to your 800th video Kyle! =)

Thanks Kyle. Very nice tour indeed.

beautiful car the interior is amazing along with the whole car

Epic Intro! Nice job man! Gotta love those old vettes

The C4 Corvette has got to be one of the best looking cars of all time in my opinion. I miss the pop out headlights as well, and it is too bad that the newer Corvettes no longer have this feature.

congrats on the 800th video!!!

the zr1 wow nice man im glad you get to check our cars like this

I just bought one this week! Exactly like this; Red with red interior, but with 16,000 miles. It is so clean! I love it so far! This guy says the valet key cuts the power to 250hp, but I believe it is 200hp.

Great review Kyle! she's a beauty! :)

I'm 17 years old. This has been my favorite car since I was about 11 and knew anything about cars, and I dream of buying one sometime in my future.

congrats on your 800th video :)

My family owns one of these in all black. I don't care what people say about the looks or the performance, this car is a beast.

sweet ride, hopefully by next summer i will own a C4 ZR1, this car got me into the Corvette whwn i was a kid (the base models never interested me) 4.3 0-60 and 180+mph top speed...dwarfs most of todays cars (many equipped with AWD). What an awesome car!

I love the late 80s early 90s corvette body style VERY COOL

Awesome 800th video. Congrats!! Also that Vette seems to be on a flying carpet.

such a beautiful ZR-1. thx for posting.

One of my dream cars, along with the 80’s Camaro

amazing car, and great video!

Cool!! Love corvettes

congrats on your 800th vid 4 guys missed the like button

I'll tell ya, I dont know what you drive but I love these cars. They make great daily drivers and in the case of this(video) particular car they make great collectors also. C4!! Have a great night :)

that interior looks very minty! Its also so 90s, but i love it because it came out in the year i was born (1989) based of the 1990 year designation.

That beast is beautiful.

This car one legend

Freakin awesome! Love those old ZR1's!

Great car!! It's in amazing condition!

very good explaination...... I guess I need to do that in some of my videos....

I love this engine!

I get chills everytime someone closes/opens a car door with the keys in the same hand >.

I remember when I was 13 and looking at one of these just in aww of the ZR1 badge because eventhough I couldn't see under the hood I knew what was there. DOHC 4- valve heads! I still want one... and an 80's countach (with the spoiler lol).

such an amazing sounding engine

Ahhhhh Sweet ride and ilove how Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded By The Light came on haha

At the present time I own a 1990 ZR-1 with only 21,000 miles on the odometer. The LT5 is a great motor, and in 1990 held the record for the indurance race . The engine alone cost as much as the base corvette, which makes the car more valuable today. The ZR-1 handles great and a pleasure to drive.

That red on red is gorgeous

Kyle nice find there bud. love the video and that car is nice. Nice find there bro. need to tell the dealership, that they need to start the thing at least once a week and let her idle for a bit to keep the valve seals lubed up and at least take it for a roll once in a while. which im sure they do, but that is why there was little bit of blue smoke when you did the exhaust clips, thats the oil coming from the valve seals.

Interior is awesome! Looks like a sleazy Vegas motel room!

My dreamcar! No woman can beat this car!!!

gave my head a skirly whirly and asked me if I needed a ride lmao you can get an 80s song like no body's biz on the radio.

Special video kyle. nice.

my favorite car from the 90s

Beautiful car! Great video saabkyle! My grandpa had one of these back in the day. (I think it was a ZR1, but I'm not sure) He bought it brand new, right around 1990. He has had more than 10 Corvettes ranging from 1969-1999. A 1999 being his current car. He would buy a brand new one every time they changed the style. My uncle also had a 1991 Corvette (non-ZR1) and it was still a blast of a car! It was going to be mine until he sold it. He bought me a Mustang so it's okay. lol Still want the Vette

Wow. Every 100th video beats the previous. I remember when you tested around for intros. Note: That intro takes the cake. And so does the new camera.

4:19 what a great concept. Alot of really well thought out nooks and crannies in this car neverminding the fact it's a Corvette. You can tell that GM needed more engineers like this in the 90's lol.

that is a BEAUTIFUL Piece of American/British Engineering!

The stock exhaust system is restrictive in the inlet diameter of the center muffler something they fixed on the 93 ZR1's. That and better flowing injector housing and heads to boost output to 405 H.P. There is a lot of meat left in the injector housing and plenum so that's why the LT5 comes a live with porting. My 91 received a 510 H.P. package by Marc Haibeck and he achieved 525 H.P. all with the stock bore and stroke. It currently has the stock 3.45 ratio rear and I plan on swapping it out to the 4.10 ratio. My first 91 had headers and big exhaust with the 4.10 gears and she pulled very hard in 5th.

I am getting older but basically this is the car that symbolizes late 1980s / 1990 America. It was a good era. The GM ignition bongs remind me of all the rental Cadillacs you could get with that new--car GM smell. Also, later LT5 engines had 405 horsepower.

beautiful car

This is my favorite Corvette.

I Just Love The Wheels

nice find

What a simple and classic shape. The best Vette ever. Thanks for the review Kyle!

Awesome car

thank you thank you oooh thank YOUUUUU and color is so sharp so clear and than we thank israel for the chip HD again thank you

Love the design of the C4. It's not much of a classic like the C3. But this ZR1 is a collector car imo.

now this is what im talking about an nice automobile... this is nice... this i would not mind driving everyday :)

I was curious who this "Sonny Norris" was on the dash plaque and found his obit. A 67 year old man from Gastonia NC. "A lover of automobiles and a fan of country music and travel." Past away the same month this vid was posted, but after which would make this Vette an early estate sale. 'Ol Sonny is going to be haunting this ride!

Your car stands out

man what a car

those lights are cool!

True legend.

those seats look very comfortable

Great car!! even though im more of a fan of later c4's any c4 (ESPECAILLY this zr-1) make me excited long live the c4, great video!

what a nice sound. i drove one at the auto auctions. but not enough room to get out of second gear lol

OMG THE HEADLIGHTS

Amazing car.

7:30 brings new meaning to the term "blowing out the cobwebs"

seats look so comfortable

What’s the little screen near the radio for it never turned on

90s forever!

These cars were just off the chart. Id take a zr1 over anything. Love them.

Wow; that interior

Thinking of buying one as my second car

I have owned 13 porsches but I love this car ...

Thank you very much, sir.

The 90’s corvettes look so much better than the modern ones.

My god, that car look comfortable.

I am really loving the red iterior.

that engine was a gem getting that much hp from a 5.7L V8 took alot of engineering to create. This was back before direct injection was even available. Think about it the engine alone costed $25000 back in the 90s
