increasing from 375hp to 405hp in 1993. Road & Track magazine,
in a 1990 comparison test of the Callaway Twin Turbo and the ZR-1, summed
up the pair in the title: "King vs. Kong."
Which
Do I Buy?
If you’ve always dreamed of owning a super Corvette, now it the time
to act. "The performance Corvette market is always cyclical," said
Roger Judski, owner of Roger’s
Corvette Center in Orlando, Florida. "Right now is a ‘soft’
period. While I would not call them bargains, the value of ZR-1’s right
now is very good; you get a lot of car for the money. Now, the market is just
soft for what I call average cars – cars with 10,000 to 20,000 miles.
There always is a market for the super-low mile cars." Judski’s
picks for the most popular ZR-1’s on the market are the 1993 40th
Anniversary cars, followed by the last of the ZR-1’s, the 1995 models.
The market for Callaway Twin Turbos is enigmatic.
Remember, only about 500 of these cars were built, versus 6,939 ZR-1’s.
Roger’s Corvette Center is one of the nation’s largest dealers,
yet "I can’t realistically comment on these cars," says owner
Roger Judski. "We see so few of them." While the super-rare Callaways
– like the Twin Turbo Speedster owned by Titanic director James
Cameron that Corvette Mike’s
recently sold – can go for over $100,000, most are priced in the ZR-1
range. Of course, convertibles will always go for more, as will Aerobody cars.
