Thank you. Joseph

Rob: I am the owner of a 2012 Corvette ZR1, CTF #0040, listed in red for the registry. I recently tried to post some updated information about my car but it was attached to regular production vehicle #00040. I would like to have that information corrected and my name taken off the regular...

I currently own 2012 Corvette ZR1, with a pre-production VIN number of #40. When I went into the registry to update information on my car, the information populated on regular production VIN #40. I would like to correct the information on the registry so that the database remains as accurate...

I agree with you, but what I truly like about the C4 ZR-1, is that in my opinion, it put Corvette back on the map of sports car competitiveness. I think if it hadn't been for the ZR-1, you would not have had the C5 Z06, which lead to the C6 Z06/Grand Sport/ZR1, which lead to the C7 Z06/ZR1...

You are correct, there was a Generation III engine in development and I believe that may have been something that was planned and it was to achieve somewhere in the neighborhood of possibly 475 hp, I think. But they were also developing the C5 which was rated at 345hp with an entirely new...

You might get a faster response over at the ZR-1netregistry site. I think you have to move the plenum out of the way partially to get the alternator off. It may not take a full removal of the plenum.

That's plan B.

Thanks Hib, I have more photographs posted in another thread. I hope to have the car at Carlisle this year. We are currently working on a design to lower the seats in the car, to give me a little more head room, due to my height.

Post up pictures of your car. Is it a coupe or convertible? The color is beautiful! Here is my project Copper ZR-1 :thumb

I reached out to him while I was working on this project. I will get a hold of him and see if I can get a photo opportunity with him and the car. Maybe I could talk him out of the original facia. I would love to have it on my wall. :thumb

Thanks Hib, don't think I haven't thought about that already. :thumb

Here are some additional photographs of my tribute car.

Rumor is that one was made but crashed. I have always liked the color, so this is my Copper Metallic ZR-1 creation/tribute car.
