i will be a shamed buying push rod engine car, and call it Zr-1
![]() we are the only loosers if they realy name it zr1...... if GM build a 32 valves motor, then i will be the first who agree to call it Zr-1. other than that it does make no sense! ![]() |

IMO If it has 32 valves and is OHC then let them call it a ZR-1. If it's an engine that is entirely designed to go in a Corvette (not some spin off that the truck division wanted!) then they can call it a ZR-1. If not, it's just another worthless badge and they can leave us as the unwanted sons.
I also think it's completely hypocritical to leave all the ZR-1 owners in the lurch over basic parts and then be talking about cashing in on the name. F ![]() Dave

Okay I guess I have a different take on this....well just a bit different anyway.
We, the Registry, are about ZR-1's.....right? The new "BlueDevil" project is gonna have ZR1 as a designation, right? Just like the C3 LT-1 cars had an option package called ZR1. I don't know but when I hear ZR1 or ZR-1 the context is what defines the car....I picture two different cars in my mind. I mean it depends upon whom I'm talking to about my ZR-1 as to how I describe my vette. If it's a long time vette owner that is into the marque then it's "I own a 90 ZR-1", specially if the guy is standing next to his LT-1! If it's a person who doesn't know much & doesn't own a vette then I get a bit more descriptive but I refer to my car as a ZR-1. Okay I'll go have my second cup of coffee now! ![]() ![]() I guess I'm just not worked up about this; as I had what I consider to be a real LT-1, not an LT1, & my 72/LT-1 had all the ZR1 equipment too! And now I own a ZR-1! ![]() ![]() Tom

Hello from Switzerland,
Last but not least the GM guys will say, that this "new thing" did the World Records in 1990. They never loved the ZR-1, but they took our money. Now they remember the ZR-1 for their own benefit. They would better offer enough parts for our ZR-1s. If you own a normal Corvette you have no problems, but with the Z, you are asked: "What kind of Corvette?"
