Is it just me..............

.......or does there seem to be an extra amount of attention lately towards the mostly forgettin ZR-1? On some of the social media sites I see the online Corvette communities seem to be posting more about ZR-1s,more attention than I've seen well,in a long time. Maybe all this talk about the Mid engine car,ZR1 has gottin everyone's attention. Wouldn't that be a kick in a$$ if everybody stated lookin at the C4 ZR-1 the way they did back 26 years ago. Most of the long term owners like myself could careless about the attention,maybe turn into snobs ourselves. As a long time believer in this car as well as most of you have always known,our time will come,is it just around the corner?

What you have observed is exactly one of the pro arguments for
inclusion of all ZR Corvette generations as part of our Registry. Particularly now that it appears GM may well be bringing out a 6.2L 32V DOHC motor
with the LT5 designation for the rumored C7/C8 ZR1..

I feel that way every time I open the garage door! And echo everything you said.

The C6 ZR1 did nothing for our car's values.
Could be wishful thinking for next time around?

Will the new ZR-1 have the four cam V6 Twin Turbo engine that is in development?

I hope not, Ford can keep all the V6 hype,make mine a V8.

I honestly don't know why it hasn't happened,do it before somebody else does and the chance is lost. Not sure what the negatives are but the positives far outweigh any negatives somebody can think of. More exposure,MORE MONEY.

I hear you there, always good to read any article on our ZR-1's.
Regardless of what does or doesn't come out in the future from GM, one thing will always remain constant with us owners, and that is we all own a very important piece of automotive history, and that to me is worth more than any value that the ZR-1 is or might obtain....

John,

The LT5 GM is rumored to have developed is an NA 6.2L V8.

As a Registry, we also did nothing for the C6ZR. Yet, we have 26 members who own the C6 including Marc Haibeck and Joe Thomas.
