But the ZR-1 was not just a Vette with a more powerful engine. It also included the high-performance handling package, selective ride and handling package, revised body panels to accommodate wider rear wheels and tires, a convex rear bumper cover with rectangular taillights, leather-covered six-way adjustable power sport seats, Delco Bose Gold Series sound system, low tire pressure warning, and solar glass. The ZR-1 option rang the till at just over $27,000'a hefty chunk of change when the base price of a Corvette was $31,979.
