"New" Vette to revive the ZR-1 Legend?

[tomtom72]

I know that this maybe an unpopular position on the name for the new "super vette" but I hope that GM doesn't use ZR-1. I know that this is selfish but I'd like that name to remain stopped with our cars and the 70 thru 72 LT-1's.

I can't justify my feeling on the subject because GM "borrowed" the name from the LT-1's option list, so why shouldn't GM "borrow" it back for the new super ZO6/ blue devil. I guess I'm just envious! I can't even afford to pay attention at those prices!

They should just call the car the ZO7 or the Grand Sport or the SS

Although, on an entirely self centered thought train.....maybe if they bring ZR-1 back they will make parts for our cars again or let some one else have the license to make them? That would be nice!


btw, nice toys Mr. President!

I couldn't agree more, long live the KOTH....I guess if they named the new super c6 the ZR-1 it wouldn't be the worst thing. God forbid that they tag it to some special edition Cavalier or something.

Mixed feelings on bringing back the ZR-1 name as well. Might boost the interest in our cars!? The roads did dry out here today. Awesome to have the car out on such a fine day.

Yeah, I think that would be the positive result for our cars. Actually with the values starting to level out, and with them being ~15 years old now, maybe the timing would be perfect for a resurgence.

I don't hope that our cars are the only DOHC 'vette ever because I hope Chevy continues to always do what makes the most sense for the car. But if it happens that that means ours is the only DOHC 'vette ever, well I sure think it's cool. And will keep me wondering "what if..."
