Well said Brian. I'll just add that it isn't simply a matter of good business. The 09 is the next iteration of our C4 ZR1. That it doesn't have 4 cams and 32 valves doesn't change the fact GM chose to "honor" it with the KOTH name. Its the way GM decided to do it. Its their car, its their choice and we can't deny it.

As an example, if there was a registry for the ~300 1953 cars, would you say they should include the 2053 MY car when it comes out, in order to have long-term success? They are both '53s. I realize this example is contrived, but I can't think of a good real-world one. But I'm sure there are groups/organizations/registries of long-discontinued cars. And they keep going without needing to find "new blood" in the way of unrelated current model cars. As long as there are owners of 1990-1995 ZR-1's who are interested in keeping their cars on the road, there will be a need for the ZR-1 Net Registry. If there comes a point where this isn't true, then who cares if the registry persists because it is propped up by C6 ZR1 owners? What I mean is, if the registry dies, it will be because there isn't a need for it by LT5/ZR-1 owners. In which case, let it die. I doubt that will happen though.

Bob:
I appreciate your thoughts, but we'll have to agree to disagree.... IMHO, some people just aren't thinking objectively, merely looking at it from a personal love of the ZR-1. That's admirable, to a point. The bottom line is: If we aren't accepting of change, we will suffer. This holds true in personal relationships, business, really any part of our lives. If you aren't changing, you are dying! That's a fact! I can tell this will turn into a urination contest shortly, so I guess if the majority rules to not include(and embrace) the new ZR1, then rest assured, your ending scenario will play out. And to me, that's the greatest travesty of all. A great organization potentially dwindling to nothing due to a refusal to accept change. ![]() ![]() Brian A. 1990 ZR-1 12.09@118 01 Z06 note quite stock Last edited by ZR WON; 01-09-2008 at 02:50 PM. |

Hey Carter:
I don't believe that I attacked anyone personally in my posts, merely thoughts/opinions. I don't appreciate the personal attack, nor the reference to Hillary... Brian A. 1990 ZR-1 12.09@118 01 Z06 not quite stock |

Long term success thought you were smarter then that,the Buick GN's are still going strong. Financial windfall ![]() Remember when most paid and got screwed $50 from LT5Registry (my self included) so if the ZR1NetRegistry needs more money they can raise membership fees and keep it private. Brian please explain to the newbies why we are called ZR1NetRegistry you've been around a long time. Maybe only founding members should have the right to vote on this. The ZR1NetRegistry is getting better then ever,let's not get too greedy. Another good reason i don't want the new ZR1 in here it will get a lot of venders/sponsors and become a corporate run forum and the members won't matter anymore just like the other forums. If the owners of the ZR1NetRegistry need more money they can start a new C6ZR1Forum and charge them a membership fee and get the sponsors over there. Why would we help GM promote there new ZR1 when they screwed the old ZR-1 owners with bad windshields and left us hanging on parts. We could always get better vender pricing if we stick togather i have done a lot of research on some parts for our cars that would cost a 1/10 of what they are selling right now but i noticed nobody is/was interested so i gave up. I'm all in for the new ZR1 to join us at BG gatherings or any ZR-1/Corvette gatherings. Again the 2 cars have absolutly nothing in common they are gallaxies apart. Maybe the new ZR1 guys can help us find our 32 pushrods. ![]() Pete
