"The story of the ZR-1 Corvette and the high-performance LT5 engine is a fascinating tale of interest to every Corvette enthusiast. The ZR-1 story is the ultimate execution of a theme that has underscored more than 40 years of Corvette development - the quest for more power. Its sophisticated four-cam V8 is far more than the story of a more powerful engine as the key to creating a faster car; it is a testimony of team work, cooperation and problem-solving - an unprecedented partnership between three technological leaders, bringing a great engineering concept to fruition. Automotive writer and historian Anthony Young provides an inside look at how the ZR-1 was born, what went into the design and manufacture of the LT5 engine, and why production was discontinued. Learn about the exciting American and European debuts of the ZR-1, the numerous world records set by this potent Corvette, and the various aftermarket variations of the model."
