Re: 2015 - Another no ZR1 year
I don't believe they won't do a ZR1. The C6ZR really raised the Corvette brand in the sports car world. It struck a chord with the younger crowd as well, especially since they seem to be the ones that recognize the LT-5. Or they are incredulous when they see a DOHC motor sitting in a Corvette. So I think the ZR1 moniker has produced a real halo effect as the ULTIMATE Corvette and Ultimate American sports car. They trademarked LT-5. Who knows what that brings.

Re: 2015 - Another no ZR1 year
Wouldn't THAT be interesting (assuming the new LT5 = DOHC, of course...).

Re: 2015 - Another no ZR1 year
Thats true Dom two weeks ago at a show someguy asked me if my car came that way or did I order a special crate motor. Yeah I chuckled at bit. What really has been interesting is the response to Lee's MAP sensor cover. If they dont remember the history of the car they seem to remember that mercruiser did a special engine for a special Corvette.
