Mercury marine I believe just released an LT-5 based on the original LT-5 producing 750 HP naturally aspirated!!!!!! That puts the new ZR1 to shame since it needs a charger!!

Here's a thought. And I admit I have not thought about it enough to have a clue how to go about it!
If I recall correctly, there were just shy of 7000 C4 ZR-1's built. How many are still intact? I have no clue, but I would venture a guess of half or more.
We currently have a membership of 600 give or take?
How about an agressive campaign to get those other C4 ZR-1's in our fold?
Shouldn't be a hard sell. Way more value here than the price of admission.

That is a great idea

I agree 100%

I suggested it also. The active users here gets pretty low and it is Marketing 101 to include all generation zr1 Corvettes in one forum.

I personally hope it happens.

So......rather than the ZR-1 section with General, Technical and so on...…..
We would have Sections C3 ZR-1 (?), C4 ZR-1, C6 ZR-1, C7 ZR-1 each having the headings we currently have in the ZR-1 section?

Or do you want to now include the C4 Corvette (standard Corvette) and say the Z06 also?

Starting to look like Corvette Forum

As an aside......when you are a member not logging on, I think you appear as guest

More money,more exposure? Cliff,only ZR-1s allowed,no exceptions for any other model. Somebody’s going to do it,just a matter of time.

Also....there are several.....maybe many....that have C6, or C7 Corvettes and others that have the standard C4 Corvettes like the 1990 with L98.

Also....should NOT mention here but participating membership is affected by indexing the Forum such that rather than ask the question.....they just look up the answer

Why pay when you can look it up for free without anyone knowing you looked it up whereas if you have to ask the question you might be more inclined to become a Paying Member.

That leads to a whole bunch of other questions involving how we help those with car issues. I will delete this post shortly as I am thinking I do not want to talk about this unless I get therapy first
I'm thinking a lot of us could use the therapy session, probably sessions.
You bring up some good thoughts here, so I hope by quoting it, it will not go away!!

As far as I am concerned the fact that this forum is specific to our cars, is what makes it special.
CF covers all those other Z's, so that is an established client base for CF. Is the expectation that the other Z's will leave CF and join this forum, if so why? How will we differentiate from CF in order to recruit those other members?
