I’ve just been reading about the “Black Widow” ZR-1's.
Apparently Doug Rippie Motorsports made 8 tuned versions of the car, ranging from 450 to some with over 520 naturally aspirated horsepower, and painted all the motors matte black/red. Hence “Black Widow”
What’s weird is that there are apparently more black engines cars than the 8 that are accounted for, with various modifications similar to the original 8.
No one seems to have documentation for all these other black engines LT5's though.
Mysterious...

Gee thanks... now I’m going down a ZR-1 rabbit hole, again...
Most interesting Vette imo.
