I don't think so... the ZR1 is the halo for the Vette and competes at a different level than the rest of the line up.

I think it'll be a limited run, maybe a few more years, and it'll get shelved for a while again.

They've introduced and finished the ZR1 twice now, and this time shouldn't be any different. Part of the appeal, like the McDonalds McRib, is that it isn't always available.

I love McRibs! I am trying to buy a new Duramax and my Chevy salesman mentioned that they still have that Black ZR1 in the showroom. (like I would seriously consider buying it if they dropped 10K off the price.) I did crawl all over it when I was up there last spring. They have 2 for sale and they are not moving. This one stickered at 125K. I told him I had a 90 C4 and that's why I don't need a ZR1.

The Zr1 has been used 3 times, once in the early 70's as well as a ZR2.
So, it will be used again after this run.

Wasn't the ZR2 a '90's big block C4?

I remember seeing a '90's concept, ZR2, pic had a hood bulge. I thought it was a big block C4.

Oh and for the poll and related statements I wouldn't lump ZR1's and ZR2's together.
