ZR1Net: parts development program????
Just running this up the flagpole...and based upon the infighting its probably a bad idea. But, what if the members of the ZR1.net would choose a key essential product to develop every year or two or three...using the $ from memberships,etc
Members could nominate and vote on the product via survey monkey, etc.... The product would be something hard to find, maybe cost prohibitive for any one person to develop; used by many.. Chain tensioners Piston Rings Chain tensioner covers Cams Valves Valve Springs ECMS or ther electronics Upon development of the product, the Registry could either retain the rights and sell them or possibly sell the developed product to someome for distribution. Just a thought.....

Re: ZR1Net: parts development program
Its proabably pie in the sky thinking, and maybe the lack of parts will drive higher market values....cars might become unserviceable due to cost and people will begin to sit cars with issues, eventually leading to parting them out.....like I have said before...you will not be able to create a "ZR-1" Clone......ever other car can be simulated, L88s, etc....the LT-5 cannot be copied with the DOHC and intake, etc
Getting ahead of the curve before things get costly seems like a good idea.

I think you have a very legitimate idea.
