First of all thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. Secondly, I would encourage you to consider the principle question of the Registry reaching out proactively to owners/fans of ZR Corvettes other than only the C4 generation.
As an analogy, the Grand Sport community includes other generations beyond the C4. Should the Registry do something similar? Some of the other points discussed above presuppose that the Registry would do this. The question for discussion here is whether we should do this rather than how.
I hope that helps clarify the objective here.

Likely the GS folks did it out of need as much as anything else.
There were only 1,000 C-4 Grand Sports.
That is a relatively small population from which to build a large enough organization to do all that is needed to remain viable for the long term.
While they currently do a great job, if their penetration is comparable to ours, that would be a limiting factor.

We only have a sixty some hundred population.
Until our registry reaches at least a 25% participation rate within our C-4 realm, maybe we should remain focused on that mission.
More generations certainly grows the membership and the funding, and provides a broader base of potential volunteers to help shoulder the workload of the organization. I would enjoy having the other gen folks as part of our organization as opposed to a separate unaffiliated entity.
Strength and longevity come from robust membership.
Had the original Registry reached critical mass it might have lasted, in spite of all.
Our main mission is to be meaningful, useful, desirable and fun, because if
those things happen we will be around for a long time whether we are one generation or more.
I would hate it if a contest developed as to which Z generation is the most meaningful. Combining them all eliminates that from ever happening.
A fraternal relationship among generations is far more desirable than an adversarial one.
So heck yeah, come one come all!
More folks in the pool usually mean more fun!

This should be the Corvette Halo car website, no different that Ferrari Chat has a Halo car section for the F40, F50, Enzo, etc

The LS9 ZR-1 was a low production supercar like the LT-5 ....it pulls the evolution of the ZR-1 into one website and my guess is some of these ZR-1 owners would start buying the LT-5 to compliment their Zs. I am all in.

2009 - 1,415
2010 - 1,577
2011 - 806
2012 - 404
2013 - 482

Imagine how much better we could be with more support...I think there are only 500 actual members
