Are you for or against the use of the ZR-1 name on the C6 super vette - Page 4 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I don't really like the idea. I have enough trouble defining what a ZR-1 is and now I won't even try !!!!!!! Way too confusing. Makes my head hurt just thinking about it.

this is nice one from you buddy!

Who freakin cares?
A HI PO vette that will blow away the exotics at half the cost.
I'd think that alone would deserve such a prestigous name as ZR1.
You guys are missing the big picture, this should cast more attention on our ZR1 heritage=D>

I completely agree. I think that this is much more like our ZR-1s than say the current or C5 Z06s are. Z06s are basically stripped down performance machines whereas our cars (and now the new ZR1s) have plenty of performance with better ride and all the options included. I think it fits in perfectly as the TOP Corvette, just like ours were a decade ago.

As a total newbie to the ZR-1 world I have found very quickly the heart of the beast is the LT5....a total non GM mentality engine..what a story in how it came about.anyway it makes it a stand alone engine in the GM stable and the whole concept of the ZR-1 alone sets it apart from the other Vettes. Maybe it is my naive bias but the original ZR-1 is an icon...the new ZR-1 is amazing machine but some much of it is C6 on hormones. Anyway....I think the new ZR-1 is a stand alone vehicle in power and technology worthy a name to itself and the 90-95 ZR-1 is a name that speaks for itself.
My thoughts anyway

in my opinion, interior differences from the Z06 are what should have been stressed. other than the boost gauge and the ZR-1 stitching on the seats, the interior is identical to the Z06. GM should have designed an interior that is much higher class and different, in what way i have no idea, than the z06. aftermarket parts are what makes the car faster, something GM should've considered before building an entire new corvette with simply a new motor. blahblah hopefully you get my point. it is basically a Z06 with a new motor and more weight

it sounds like the z06 with the flaps on the pipes open.. that hood is gross, and the scoops on the side look like the 90's firebirds. Price range of 100k means people will be paying 20 over list price, and im sure there is at least 10k in options.. people will be paying (like texasvenom said) 140k+, which is too much in my opinion. I'd buy a z06 and vortech it, it would have more power and cost 60k less.

The C4 ZR-1 was so unique, the name should have been retired. GM doesn't need to keep recycling the same old names and RPO codes all the time.
