Are you for or against the use of the ZR-1 name on the C6 super vette

ZR1 means PUSHROD FREE. !!!!
this is nice one from you buddy!

I think it is a done deal.

On the Forum I moderate for, Digital Corvettes. They just posted new pics of the 09 ZR-1 at 2am this morning. If you look at one of the side shots the ZR-1 badge is pretty clear beneath the cover.

All,

I'm Ok with 2009 ZR1!! The 650 HP rating, rated low as usual once one get dyno it will be closer to 700 HP.

ZR1's 1970-1972, 1990-1995 & now 2009-?
Z06's 1963, then 2000-2004 & now 2006-?
What will the Next Super Corvette be Called?

I know I’m new to the ZR-1 family, but I’m not a fan of recycling name badges. I know it is somewhat hypocritical considering that there was a ZR1 prior to the C4.
Right, wrong or indifferent, I don’t like it!

I've got mixed feelings, I guess. But, I came down on the side of "dislike" the idea of naming the new C6 beast ZR1 - preferring relatively unique status (tho that is not entirely true either, historically speaking!

On the other hand, if the ZR1 is a badge signifying a "special performance addition", I guess that isn't so bad, as tho what I or other C4 Z owners think matters when it comes to GM marketing!

Now that it is official and we can see what it looks like, has anyone had a change of heart one way or the other?

I still believe that it is a good thing. The fact that they are reserving it for the best of the best is my main reason for supporting it.

Thanks,

Talking of badges - is that the cheapest cheesy looking ZR1 badge going? Reminds me of something you'd see stuck on a detergent bottle in a supermarket...

Okay, maybe I was kind of on the fence....a bit....I like the fact that it will have a 1GYZ-------001 vs a 1GYY prod number...it makes me think that all's well @ BG.

It will not sufer the fate of the eariler ZR1's and ZR-1's.....no one will have to look twice to identify this one.

The only thing I'm not too sold on is the "window" thing. If I had enough money for this one, I'd like the C6R emblem in place of the window on the hood!.....ofcourse, unless I hit mega-millions, I can't even afford to pay attention to this gem.

to the new ZR-1, welcome to the BOB!
