My GM neighbor had a ZR-1 convertible home for the week-end long ago (maybe 1990). He let me drive it. It was the first car I'd driven (since the muscle car era) that was faster than my '65 396. Anyone know if there were more than one convertible? Maybe it was this one. I remember it didn't have the wider rear tires.

You sure that wasn't a Callaway Twin Turbo?

Definitely a ZR-1 complete with the "power key". I couldn't feel as much difference as I thought I would with the key to low power setting.

Re: 89 ZR1 Convertible @ BJ

I believe there was an 89 convertible in England used for testing. I had a 90 and 91 ZR-1 and was approached about buying 2 89 ZR-1 coupes back in 91. I thought the guy was nuts!!.... until I saw them!! One was painted the never released pearl white. These had an interesting story behind them. I think this same guy had the convertible.
