C7 ZR1 Registry members

[WARP TEN]

Chuck, I have not been looking at this section as I am normally just on the C4 ZR-1 section, but I sold my last ZR-1, a '95 Polo Green/Tan, in 2016 to order my 2016 C7 Z06. I know, it is not a ZR-1 but it still is a very capable C7 and not all that different from the ZR1s, so I thought I would add mine to the group. While I miss the ZR-1s, I love my C7. I have taken three long (2,500+ mile) trips, including one with my car-hating wife and even she was happy in it. 22,000 miles on it and now shod with Michelin A/S 3+ ZPs. One of a very small number ordered with Body Colored Vents. I still have lunch with Marc Haibeck every month or so and stay involved with the ZR-1 group but I do enjoy the C7 and currently don't have any plans to get a C8. Unless I win one of the NCM raffles. So far I have just made donations however. Loved going to Spring Mountain two day Ron Fellows driving school courtesy of the GM discount. And I even added a "Z06" emblem to the back of the car to mimic the way the C4 ZR-1 did it. I guess over 20 + years with ZR-1s I just got used to the look. --Bob

I like that emblem on the back Bob, very sophisticated.

Thanks, but not really very sophisticated. I just bought a Z06/Supercharged side vent emblem from my local dealer (about $25 as I recall). Then I dry-experimented with whether I wanted the full emblem or just the Z06. Decided that the more ZR-1-like Z06 was the best so I carefully cut the Supercharged off with a fine tooth hacksaw. Discovered that the "Z06" was in two pieces and held together by the Supercharged part, so I had to align it carefully as I applied it with the sticky tape on the back. But I am happy with the way it came out. Of course no one really notices it unless I point it out. --Bob

Bob, I have a Z06 as well, a 2015 Crystal Red. I have a rough time loading photos. But yours looks real nice. Chuck
