09 ZR1 as part of ZR-1 Net
 
Well we've "discussed" it, how about a show of hands?
Do we include the 09 ZR1 as part of this forum?

Re: 09 ZR1 as part of ZR-1 Net
 
What the heck, why not?
Is there really a difference between a ZR1 or a ZR-1 or a ZR/1?
At the end of the day, it will be able to make mincemeat out of all but the most extremely modified versions of our "Old King".

Welcoming the "New King" with open arms should be viewed as a gracious and hospitable act befitting the kindness and generosity of the existing King.

(Just don't tell them folks with more $$$ than branes that with their $100k+dealer markup (which will probably be BIG $$$$) they could have bought a different color ZR1 for each and every day of the week.)

Re: 09 ZR1 as part of ZR-1 Net
 
I agree with TC. Even the part about the $$$ and gettin' a ZR-1 for everyday of the week....that would be cool & I aspire to that when I grow up!:sign10:

All I can say if anyone can afford a new ZR1....god bless ya & go for it!:thumbsup:

:cheers:

Re: 09 ZR1 as part of ZR-1 Net
 
I say yes. Make a section and lets all share. Now if we could get GM to give a complimentary ZR-1/NetRegistry membership with each ZR1 purchased, we would be a step ahead.

Re: 09 ZR1 as part of ZR-1 Net
 
Sure, Why Not.. A ZR-1 is a ZR-1 it will stimulate interest in the old ones as well. I am sure there will be many who cannot afford a new one who will want one and that will create a new demand for the old ones.

Re: 09 ZR1 as part of ZR-1 Net
 
Curious, since one option is "open a section", are we talking about including them in the forum or in the registry?

Re: 09 ZR1 as part of ZR-1 Net
 
I vote yes. I think they would need a their own forum though for the two very different ZR-1 / ZR1s. Not sure there would be enough interest in the "original" ZR-1, but they could certainly be members.

Re: 09 ZR1 as part of ZR-1 Net
 
I also voted 'no' and have said so on the other discussion threads. I don't see that the new ZR1 is anything like ours. To me it just looks like a C6 with a bunch of bolt-ons and doesn't seem to have the 'hallmark of distinction' that ours do. I also doubt if anyone buying one would want to join us here - they don't need our information and probably don't even know we exist.

That said a Corvette is a Corvette so all brethren in that sense.

I don't imagine my opinion on the subject makes much difference one way or another though :)

The poll was posted to suggest whether an 09 ZR1 Forum Section is opened. Hope that clarifies things. But now that you've brought it up, wouldn't there be a separate "registry" for the new
ZR1

Re: 09 ZR1 as part of ZR-1 Net
 
WTF
I thought this was an LT5 KOTH forum.

The new ZR1 as great as it is it's still not an LT5.

If i wanna read about the new ZR1 i'll go the the other forums.

We have nothing in common not a single part of the car is the same as ours.

They can start there own ZR1registry this one has been thru h3ll and back just to have and keep this one togather.

If we let them in then how about C5's and C6's since some members own them.
Then maybe some ricers.
There used to be a motocyle called the ZR1 maybe let them in also,lets not forget the ZR2's

I say anybody can join even if they don't own a ZR-1 as long as they know it's a ZR-1/LT5 only forum.

This is a full of sh!t thread.
If i were the mod i would delete this thread.

If the owners wanna have/make a C6 ZR1 they can start a whole new forum and call it the ZR1Registry and keep it different.

Over here i just wanna read about 32valves not 16.

Two different worlds.

Re: 09 ZR1 as part of ZR-1 Net
 
I think anyone is welcome to join or post on this forum, but the discussions in the Zr-1 forums should be limited to the '90-'95 ZR-1's. I have no problem with separate forums on this site for the new Z.

Re: 09 ZR1 as part of ZR-1 Net
 
I forsee the future for ZR-1NetRegistry the next CF a corporate run forum.
Soon after say bye bye to the babe section.
The mods can promise it won't happen all they want, CASH speaks louder then mods.

This is the reason i pay my $60 every year to support and keep it saperate.
I can pay nothing with other forums and read about C6 ZR1.
I guess a refund would be on order if this happens.

Can't we all just get along?! We're (C4 and C6 Z's) all drive Corvettes, and we all represent the pinnacle of the Corvette line! I'll still wave to them, won't you?

So why CAN'T we talk to them on this forum too?!

We can all get along just fine,as long as they stay on there side of the street and i'll stay on my side :mrgreen:

Like i said in my previous post love the new Z ,but they can get there own site.i will also add i love all vettes but if i wanna read about a 1967 corvette i will go elsewhere not in a ZR-1 Forum.
The ZR-1Net and the LT5Registry has gone thru h3ll and back to get it to where it is today.

I pay/support it so it doesn't become a corporate run forum like CF.
Once the C6's come in then the C5's, C7's so on.

I notice all the newby members want this :icon_scra

Sorry to be a newbie, but I just bought my ZR-1 after years of lusting after it and I just want some more opinions and more stuff to talk about. I can understand wanting stuff about the C4 ZR-1 because our cars are rare and unique. Hell, that was the main reason why I migrated here from the CF. But I think that one thing that works about the dastardly CF is the ability to compartmentalize, so why can't we here?

One part C6 Z for them and the rest for us C4 guys. If we all pay (which I'm going to do once I finally go home to get my car's VIN) then the moderators won't have to go corporate. With more paying members, they will have even less of a reason to go corporate.

Also, I don't think a slippery slope argument applies here. Just three Corvettes have ever carried the ZR-1/ZR1 moniker - super rare C3s, our C4s and now C6s. At 2,000 made per year for three model years, the C6s will be just as rare as us. And there are no other Corvettes that carry three characters: Z R 1. No C5s, no C2s, no C1s apply because those cars don't have Z R 1.

Dan nothing personal but the guy that started the thread is also a newby.
Dom, if your bored play with the balls i gave you.

The reason i pay is to keep it a ZR-1 forum.

Otherwise we should do a member only section the paying members get a password to the forum.

I would be willing to pay a little more for this and it would keep crap like this out.

If it's more members we want make a Mitsu. EVO section i know a bunch of them we'll get lots of members then.
W.a.C.O.S.

What a crappy phuking thread i got myself into.
Done.

I would like to open this up to the new ZR1, but someone made a point that they may not want to join us. For this reason, I voted open a section and wait and see.

I still wonder how many current ZR-1 owners will by the new ZR1.

Thanks,

Re: 09 ZR1 as part of ZR-1 Net
 
I say welcome them into the NetRegistry, welcome them into any and all of our Forums, and set them up with their own if they so desire.

I think what we have in common is GM, Chevrolet, Corvette, and ZR1. We share exclusivity and heritage as the former and reigning KOTH. Because of our common interests, exclusivity and heritage I'm interested in what they have, what they say, and what they think; I believe they will feel the same way.

I could be wrong yet see no down side in finding out. Why not make the offer? I believe we should continue to discuss and debate the topic until everyone believes they have been heard. I trust when a decision is made, any decision by any means, we will stand together.

Flame away...

Re: 09 ZR1 as part of ZR-1 Net
 
My luv affair is with the LT5 and I vote NO!

I would rather see a section for rides with a LT5 in them than have the new ZR1 owners here.

I think a lot of flame wars would result and it would be bad for the forum overall.

With special ZR-1 sections in

CF -- CAC -- DC -- Crossed Flags -- EES -- CV

and maybe even some I missed we have enough just trying to get all the ZR-1folks to be here at the "REAL" home of the KOTH.

Sometimes being small and exclusive has its advantage. I like the fact that we are a small tight knit group here.

Even if we did it I bet they would want their own exclusive forum to hang out at and our section for them would attract just a few and not really be a big hit!

We have always only been about the KOTH and even if a new king is in town I do not really think it will go well. I would sure hate to see existing members get pissed off about it and have us loose the precious ground we have worked so hard to achieve up to this point.

We get other vette owners here all the time now --- So if a 09 ZR1 guy wants to sign up and hop in that is great he will learn all about the ZR-1 and our luv affair with the LT5 and be that much the wiser!

I say we welcome them with open arms just as we do any Corvette owner now but I am very much against the "special area" for them on our forum.

Next thing you know every "special model" vette will want the same and now we have become one of the 'GENERAL' Corvette forums out to please all.

Nuff Said ---

Re: 09 ZR1 as part of ZR-1 Net
 
I've thought about this alot and I vote no too for the following reasons

1. logistics, we don't want the added hassle of doing up two sets of shirts, badges, ect.

2. the "new ZR1" as many have mentioned doesn't have the LT5 and is a completely different platform, the c6. the focus of this club is on the c4 ZR-1 the true KOTH and the proud "father" of modern day GM supercars

3. debates between which is better is something I don't want to get in the middle of.


that being said, down the road I WOULD like everyone to consider inviting them to the gathering at BG. that would get the numbers up at the drags and make the event more interesting IMHO. but then again, that is a separate issue and poll.

thanks for doing this and the feedback.

As I suggested on the listserv, NO for now. Let's see what they want to do after the no-dash has been around the block for a few years. I'm with Ron.
