I think we should take the bull by the horns and add sections for the new ZR1. If this registry doesn't someone will start a C6 ZR1 registry. You guys are rough on the new ZR1. It is special, it has a great name. It has a super performance engine. It looks (slightly) different than a regular C6. Sometimes some ZR1 owners can be such snobs and here I find it hard to believe those would turn their back on our cars grandson! From a business stand point it would bring more revenue in and bring more attendance to events. Most important (IMHO) the new ZR1 is going to renew interest in the C4 ZR1. And although low on numbers we should have a C3 Zr1 section along with historical info on that ZR1. If we don't change with the time we will be left behind. There's always bitching here that no one uses this forum and here some are not wanting to include more potential users.

This car will receive more support from GM, as the engine is nothing special, other than a blower on top. It's a beefed up LS3. GM techs will require no special training to work on these cars.

As the "elders" it's our responsibility to teach and in form them. So what the new one will get more support from GM, I sure would hope so! So what no special training is needed to work on them, that's a good thing. Seems like that pisses you off because our motors needed specially trained techs.
The ZR1 old, older, or new is a special model of our beloved american sports car. I say we include all or risk being know as small group of C4 snobs with nothing to really be a snob about.
