1994 Dick Guldstrand GS90
On January 8th, in Los Angeles, California, the Los Angeles auto Show is held, over nine days. Dick Guldstrand introduces the GS-90 Corvette, based on the Corvette ZR-1 chassis and engine, with aerodynamic body designed by Steve Winter.
The GS90 is essentially a reskinned ZR-1 Corvette with a 475 horsepower ZR-1 from D.K. Motorsports and a Guldstrand- modified suspension. Styling of the car was a throwback to the 1963 Ferrari GTO and the only stock Corvette body parts are the windshield and side windows.
The only problem was the price. The GS90 cost $134,500 over the price of a $72,208 ZR-1, for a total of $206,208! As a result, only six GS90s were built and sold.

That's a really interesting subject.... is it a C5 modified by Dick Guldstrand? Can't wait to see it!

I generally don't have an interest in muscle cars, but this one is pretty!

Alan yes of course! Sport 90 should've been a clear clue!

Excellent info Larry, thanks for the lesson! My brother had a ZR-1, the first C4 based car with the square tail lights, beautiful motor, trans was awful & the clutch was stiffer than my big block Mopars.
The DOHC 4valve heads were designed & built here in the U.K. by Lotus.

My first vette was a '94 with a manual trans. reverse was sometimes difficult to get.

Did it have that oddball 4+3 trans?

Just a regular 6-speed manual trans.
