2018 ZR1 Introduction - Why not The Gathering?

[XfireZ51]

Apparently GM has not revealed where they will introduce the 2018 ZR1.
How about we start a petition to introduce it our Gathering? And on the NCM Track. That would be awesome IMO. ����

DUDE, that would be amazing!

That would be great although they usually do it at one of the auto shows. We'll see!--Bob

Speculation out of the NA Auto Show (Detroit) this week is that it will be at the NCM Bash in April which seems to be increasing in attendance from year to year.

I Really don't see it happening!

Unfortunately, it's probably more likely that it would be introduced at the Bash in April rather than at the C4 Gathering in May. That's where they "unveiled" the GS last year and what Harlan and company seem to be favoring as a venue to introduce new products. The other alternative being talked about in Detroit this week is the Daytona 24.

Although "we" would think it is a great idea, I don't think the Gathering is a large enough audience for them to debut the car. Recent past numbers for the Gathering wouldn't support it and we would really have to get to work with only four months to go to drive the numbers up.

Just my two cents. :cheers:

OK, Carlisle it is then!

I can't disagree w you Joe. I was dreaming out loud. :Eagle:;)

However, if they did introduce it prior to The Gathering, it would be very cool if we got a private look at it while we are there. We have championed the ZR for many years, and if the new car is what it sounds like, I think our group deserves that.

It would be awesome to see GM do that for us at the Gathering, but what are the chances lol? It would be neat to see them roll out a 1970-72 ZR-1, along side any year C4 ZR-1, along side a 2012 ZR1, then roll out the 2018 ZR1.

Keep the Dream alive!

This is the kind of exposure that would be great and well deserved for our cars.

I have just the right 2012 ZR1, GM Marketing Car, for that display!

[DRM500RUBYZR-1]

While the timing may not be best, there are tens of thousands of the Corvette faithful at Carlisle every year, why not do it there?

GM already sends truckloads of cars there...............................

We have a great presence as well.

Awesome! It would be great to have some additional C6 ZRs join us there.
