Why so many ZR-1 owners at Corvette Forum?

[HAWAIIZR-1]

I mentioned this before and still can't figure it out about most of the ZR-1 folks using the Corvette Forum instead of our own great forum. I'm guity of it too because I would submit a post here and get little or no response. The funny thing is most of the folks there are ZR-1 Net Registry members. It's funny too because all the jealous other Corvette folks like to stick their noses in on the ZR-1 Forum in there. I don't ever look at C5, C6 etc. because I don't own or want one; that says something about the mistique of our awesome Zs. Anyway, I just wish we could get everyone to move over here, but I don't think it will ever happen. Another thing I notice on that side is there are more Jerks and smart azzes; even when they are the same folks that are here too.

Anyway, just my thought for the day.:blahblah:

Aloha,

Hey Craig, just checking in.

BTW, old habits die hard.

Hey there Jeff. I'm going to try to migrate my way back to this forum too. I hope all is going well for you and thanks again for all your help; no change in my status and haven't had a chance to pull the cam covers.:cry:

old habits die hard.

Yep !

Ditto. A fellow C3 Vette Registry (C3VR) member, who is also a member of the Corvette Action Center (CAC), told me about this site (btw - the CAC C4/ZR-1 forums are also relatively light in traffic). I only go to CF as a last resort for information. Too much trash there. I prefer the lower key pace here, at CAC, and at C3VR to the CF mess. The quality of the people and information is also heads above the CF crowd IMO.

hey, craig...gonna miss you in BG, this year.
and to just clear up a comment or 2 you made,
some of us...:mrgreen: ....are jerks and smart azzes on BOTH
forums.....this one is getting more traffic all the time..
i'm trying to stir up interest, everyone should..alot
of lurkers..here..they read...what's posted..and go
about their business..right, Bob Hall?? :mrgreen:

[4DSZR1]

I'm a big lurker :wink: . Like other commenters I find this site much more informative that CF and less "crabby". I also like the Babes. There are some FINE people in ths ZR1 hobby, and we are lucky they're here.


Thanks

I have taken some advice from Z Factor...I post here first and then link my post over at CF. I'm sure that many of you have noticed...

Yep...I'm surprised that the hair trigger mods over there haven't sent you to camp yet for doing that....I like it here, it's our home and you can still get Keith's goofy *** smiley's over here as well.:mrgreen:

I don't think it would bother CF at all to lose all of us....what...maybe 100 guys that are regular/semi-regular posters?

They don't care because we are usually self policing. But every now and then we need some correction.

[Kevin]

they don't care about anyone other than the venders

[tomtom72]

I'm guilty also!:o

I always come here first in the AM to see what's up but with me the NE/Events section over at CF is my "window" on what I'm doing & where I'm going just about every weekend....I hang out & go crusin' with those crazys in the NE-wolfpack. Our cruises are a ton o fun and those guys are into driv'in their vettes and we're a tight group. It's my reason to be over at CF.

I prefer here but sometimes I find more info there on ZR-1 issues that I might be dealing with....but I always check here first before I go over there. It's just that for a rookie the archives are bigger there...ya know for lookin things up. I would rather post here because ZFactor made a home for us.

:thumbsup:

TT PERHAPS YOU NEVER DISCOVERED THE ARCHIVES OF THE ZR-1 NET--LARGER THAN ALL OTHERS COMBINED!!!

AND>>> http://listserv.corvettemuseum.com/cgi-bin/wa.exe?S1=ZR1NET

AND THERE ARE I THINK OLDER ONES THAT GO BACK EVEN FURTHER DAVE BRIGHT OR RON K MIGHT KNOW WHERE THOSE ARE STASHED AT NOW!!!

AND THIS IS VERY NICE FOR FINDING ITEMS ON THE MAIN SITE

[birddog01]

I've wondered why the responses here are rather few for a forum made up exclusively of ZR-1 owners. I enjoy CF, DC and the ZR-1 Net Registry, but when a question is posted it would be nice to receive some responses. This forum really isn't all it could be.

[LeoLily]

what...maybe 100 guys that are regular/semi-regular posters?

And gals! [-X

I check both here and CF daily and have found invaluable info on both sites. I 'spect that folks who own multiple 'vettes may tend to hang at CF to get info on all the generations of 'vettes they own... Just a thought. :rolleyes:

[threestar40]

I'm trying to come here as more as well.
But as Jeff said, Old habits are hard to break.

Maybe more people "stop in" there at the CF out of curiosity and those people are good people too.

I mean, Let's face it. We are hard core car people and own extremely rare and old cars at this point.

I love it and am so happy to own one, but it scares me a lot. It's so complicated and expensive...I'm ashamed to say I wanted to sell it at one time and I kind of regret trying...it still scares me though. (See male/female thread ;) )

Our babies will go on living in a place more like this ultimately, but the CF is cool too.

I think we are doing the "internet forum research" as the beat goes on, if you know what I mean.

Think of it like this...I mean there are still AMX clubs and later Buick Grand National guys still going and they made 50K of those bad *** buick drive trains...last year was '87...with the technology of today we are going to be hard pressed to keep competing. Speed Density, 16 injectors, difficult and expensive to find parts...the list goes on. I can't wait for someone to use an aftermarket fuel injection system on the King, i.e. bigstuff3, the one that can actually control 16 injectors...now that would be something.

It takes a hard core gearhead who can really appreciate the LT5 for the awesome achievement in mechanical engineering that it is to fit in here.

Ok, going to see all the new threads 'over there'

Rock On,

Rick =)

Rick,

I hear you and I had some of the same feelings about getting rid of the Z at one time. The good thing is now I'm in waaaayy to deep to even think about it and I guess you can say I'm "Obsessed". If not for this forum and "CF" I would not be able to work on these cars even with the factory manuals. There is nothing like the help from all the folks here to share their experience to get you through any repair. I can't even begin to thank all the folks from the Registry and CF ZR-1 for all the tips and tricks to work on my Z. :blahblah: :handshak: :cheers: :thumbsup:

[HADI-ZR1]

from my side, i have bad experience with CF! see, if you post something aginst C5,6 , the Moderaor in ZR1 thread in CF is C5 owner, and he lock your thread or move it! what the crap is that! but truthly i just go there because of you Z folks, we r all gulity not hanging in our Home : zr1 net!:o

Post in the correct section and you won't have that problem.

And Frank does not have a C5, he has 3 C4's.

[HADI-ZR1]

jeff,
its not just about that! you dont get it. sorry!

[Jeffvette]

I get it, I saw your posts.

What's this "we" stuff whiteman? (quote from Tonto) I bow to you on needing some correction. How many times were you "grounded"? =D> A little verbal scolding is all I've ever had.

Jeff were you a bad boy? Should be get a teacher out of the Corvette BABES section to punish you? [-X

The Corvette Forum sure has ALOT of people frequenting it and a VERY high % of ZR1 owners there too! I wish we could somehow combine our forums, but from what I hear that would never happen....


Oh well :blahblah:

[WB9MCW]

OLD HABITS DIE HARD---BUT SOME DAY I AM SURE YOU ALL ON CF WILL FINALLY GET P/O ENOUGH AT THE MOD'S "LOCK THREAD" AND "BANNING" TO COME HERE TO STAY--THE REAL HOME OF THE KOTH--

I MYSELF LEARNED THAT LESSON A LONG TIME AGO WHEN I GOT ON A RAVE ABT THE MOD ON CF "LOCKING UP THREADS" AND NOT EVEN BEING A ZR-1 OWNER AND ACCUSED HIM OF BEING JEALOUS WHICH I SHOULD HAVE NOT DONE--BUT DID!!! IF I REMEMBER RIGHT (IT WAS BACK IN 2003) HE QUIT THE MOD POSITION FOR A WHILE BUT I THINK HE EVENTUALLY TOOK IT BACK--MY SOLUTION---I FOUND THE "REAL HOME" FOR THE KING AND HERE I STAY VERY HAPPY WITH MY COMRADES

BESIDES WHERE ELSE CAN YOU GET YOUR DAILY FIX OF CORVETTE BABES!!!

[blackjack]

corvette forum???....wazzzat?
bj

[rkreigh]

we're not going to combine the forums unless you are willing to give up the freedoms we currently enjoy. the zr1 net forum is free, not beholden to "sponsors" and the moderators are more laid back, and oddly enough, most of the time there isn't as much of a need as we have fine and mature upstanding members:blahblah:

[FU]

as we have fine and mature upstanding members:blahblah:

OK. Did someone join the membership that we don't know about :sign10:

[WB9MCW]

well put mr prez we are laid back and all about having fun in the KOTH more than anything else here. I vote stay the course.
