As an analogy, the Grand Sport community includes other generations beyond the C4. Should the Registry do something similar? Some of the other points discussed above presuppose that the Registry would do this. The question for discussion here is whether we should do this rather than how.
I hope that helps clarify the objective here.

Respectfully, I think the manner in which it would be done will directly impact the result and should be considered before making the decision, not after.

There is a significant set of differences that sets our group of ZR-1/LT5 owners/enthusiasts apart from the rest.
1. The LT5. The Lotus birthright, The "black site" (MerCruiser) manufacturing, the speed & endurance records, our dependence on each other for technical support, etc.. None of that relates to any other generations with "ZR" option.
2. GM support. Virtually every other version of the "ZR" optioned Corvettes is or will be currently supported by GM.
3. Generation Gap. Face it! Technology grows exponentially. Our ZR-1's are special, but they are vastly outdated and of little interest to todays speed & power group. We are normally aspirated marvels of 27 year old technology in a sea of uber powerful sports cars made by dozens of different manufacturers. We are distant cousins like the P-38 Lightening and the F-22 Raptor. Not much in common today.

The list could continue, but the point is...... how do you govern and administer to a diverse group of all generation ZR's and achieve the same level of effectiveness as we enjoy today? I don't think it can be done.

I greatly admire the C6 ZR1, have had the pleasure of hot laps with a professional driver, wanted one and owned a 2013 GS. I currently own a 2016 Z51 Stingray and enjoy everything about it. My 94 ZR-1 is special. Through it, I have made many, many friends.

What we have through the ZR-1 Net Registry is unique. I see no benefit to expanding it to include any other generations of "ZR" optioned Corvettes.
