Reminding people they have done it before but not since. It was truly a technical achievement back in the 80s, and this new LT6 is just that now. What GMs engineers have done with this new DOHC motor is just insane!!
As a Registry Board member, this was the premise for my position regarding the expansion of the Registry to include subsequent generations. The Z06 is not a ZR1, BUT the lineage and bloodlines between the C4 Z and now the C8 have been established. And as u have pointed out, a world class DOHC V8 in this latest generation now will bring the rightful spotlight to the first Corvette to ever be powered by one. I believe the price movement we are jow seeing in the C4 ZR has been in anticipation of this by savvy collectors.

Thats kinda sad. I'm a member here because this club is devoted to the C4 ZR-1. The more it gets watered down, the less interest I will have in keeping my membership.
It might not seem so to you, but the C4 Zr-1 is special enough to deserve it's own forum and it's own club.
