I hate the name

That's all I got to say about it.
At least it did not come out as a pu$$y SS

Re: I hate the name

Tom, I agree. The name belongs to the C4 generation. And then to put on a cheap looking decal beats all.

..

Thank God they did'nt go w/the "SS"..I think Camaro or Chevelle.
I think ZR1 and well a C4 ZR1..pops in my head...

Def should've stuck w/the Blue Devil or went w/a ZO6R or ZO6SC or something...

Re: I hate the name

If they needed to bring back a name it should be StingRay, the first real kickass Vette.

Re: I hate the name

Corvette used to concentrate on two things equally ..
Body style and performance...Where is the Corvette tradition of having a n/a engine, ..
They could have gotten 100 more horses from the current 427 without forced induction..
Corvette needs to wake up..

Re: I hate the name

No arguement from me on this issue, guys.

I think ZR-1 was a poor choice

Re: I hate the name

I agree with Tom that Stingray would have been a better choice vs ZR1. That said I really liked the name Blue Devil as it was unquie and never used before.

I love the blue but after looking at it for a couple of days I'm not a fan of the two tone look. That dark grey is very stealth looking.

Re: I hate the name

ZR-1 is a mistake, so is a 6 figure pricetag for a Corvette...

Re: I hate the name

Repeating myself from another post: Spoilers, air dams, ground affects, exposed carbon fiber, exposed intercoolers, ceramic brakes, these are all things my 22 year old has or wants for his ricer rides. I'm not saying any of this is bad, but I do understand it better now seeing the age of the person responsible for it (Harlan Charles).

Re: I hate the name

I may be way off on this guys, but saying the name ZR-1 belongs to the C4 is like saying Z06 belongs to the (original) C2. What's the difference? At least it isn't the blue devil or SuperSport, those sound like super heroes.

As long as it delivers on the performance promises I don't care if they call it a Civic. It will still drive just as fast regardless of the name.

Re: I hate the name

Recycled name, Hot Wheels hood, ricer aero kit, bling "rims", goofy spear on the front fender ducts, outragous price............and yet I still wouldn't mind having one!

Re: I hate the name

It's just a name. Lets judge it on its functionality/merit. I don't care if they call it turdrocket, it's still gets the job done, quickly.
