1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ride control actuator failed ($400 plus about 6 hours of my time), climate control computer ($1100!), oil leaks ($200 in parts and about 15 hours of my time to fix), innumerable squeaks and rattles -- inexcusable in a car with 28k miles. And don't even bother asking a Chevy dealer for help fixing it...
General comments?
Marvelous engine (despite the oil leaks), awful car. Brutally fast, but wanders all over the highway, hops sideways over bumps, ride is beyond harsh, frame flexes terribly. A toy, not a real car.
