Two Nice Reads in the Rags - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

32valvZ · 01-14-2009

Hi fellow ZR-1 brothers. Today I'm excited. After looking at the Barret Jackson thread over on the CF, I felt proud to be a ZR-1 owner. Not because of the figures the cars are selling at, but for the recognition that were finally getting. These phenomenal cars are starting to make their mark in history all over again.

I went into my local magazine/book store today, picked up my latte and went over to the rag rack scouring the mags for the newest Corvette publications. Much to my surprise, as I picked up the latest Corvette & Chevy Trader, I see it was graced with a beautiful Comp Yellow ZR-1 on the cover. I opened it up to find the usual statistics and a fairly accurate description on the history of the LT5 and the ZR-1 in general.

Next, I looked a bit further and saw that Vette Magazine also has a special C4 ZR-1 section in this issue! Sweet!! Again, nice write ups and some interesting cars. As an added bonus they mention a few familiar names like Tyler Townsley and the regulars ie: Kilebrew, Hill etc. etc. In addition theres an article on a sweet 415 owned by Sanjay Metha, whose name I also recognized.

I would like to think that among all the bad news of the economy and everything thats happening with GM, theres a silver lining for our group. The ZR-1 is finally turning the corner in both value and recognition as a world class supercar. I wish I had some REAL money, I'd love to own one of every year ZR-1 made.

Puff out your chests & hold your chins high brothers of the Beast, the spotlight is on us!!
