ZR-1 Net Registry Forums - View Single Post - Dave McLellan at Great Falls Cars & Coffee

As those of you who checked Mid-Atlantic region post may already know Mr. Dave Mclellan paid us a visit at Great Falls Cars & Coffe last Saturday. There were 8 or 9 Zs waiting for him - WAZOO welcome!!!
I have owned Corvettes since 1979, C4s since 1984 and ZR-1s since 1991. Needless to say, being able to meet Dave was a tremendous honor. I asked for his signature and his suggestion was on the plenum. Since I am planning on top end porting and wanted to be able to refinish the plenum I explained my logic and asked for his signature on the underside of the hood. I plan to clear coat the signature so that it becomes a permanent part of this Z.

BTW one myth, namely why secondary key was added, was cleared up - "it was suggested by Jim Ingle and since it was doable secondary key was added to keep valet from abusing the car" was his response. When asked if meeting noise regulation was a consideration, his response was "no".

I apologize for being redundant (this being posted in the Mid-Atlantic region) but just in case some members may not visit regional section I am posting this here.
