Aarms and rearend were not. I put ZR1/GS brakes on the front of a 94 vette using factory peices for very little money. id have to double check but the RPO is J9L for 13in brakes which is what the GS/ZR1 cars had.
330hp LT1? huh? either they dressed up and repainted an LT4 aka Grand Sport motor or they aren't too sure what they have. The LT1 was 300 hp in the vette 305 and 315 in the WS6/SS/Firehawk cars. the LT4 was 330hp in the vette and rated at 330 in the fbodies but considering those cars are putting down nearly 330 to the wheels after being tuned, that rating is a little low.
my point is this. the car looks fantastic on the outside. im sure it is well worth the asking price. there are a lot of buzz words thrown around that entire ad though. the ad is horrible and full of too much hype instead of facts. the engine pictures are crap. the detail shots are too close. i do not need to see an upclose shot of the rims like they posted. thats like showing me an up close shot of the cast iron manifolds on the car. its minor compared to the parts that really matter like fit and finish of the engine bay and interior. they are trying to sell the sizzle by showing you great pictures of a steak while turning a water faucet on in a sink for the sizzle sound.
