When Tom was in Russia buying a car. The Vette went to Lopers and had a 4:56 gear installed. Sure did wake it up. Id say Penske and Barrett knew what the real number produced was.

It is possable the Black ZR-1 you mention is one of the 2 or 3 (one does not have documentation) that I mentioned. Im trying to remember but one of the ones here in Fla. was repainted black back when the original color didnt matter to collectors. I dont remember which one it was but because of the collector car market the paint was changed back to the original color when it was restored. I could call and find out when I can get to it. The 2 guys I know with them are great guys to talk to.
