Default Any more ZR1's before mid engine changeover

As a fan of " the old days" is there any talk of a final edition ZR1 with front engine configuration that would top the current Z06, Viper supercharged, or new GT 500 that would put the final "frosting " on all these want a be's. A final edition with say a 454 or 427 with a a centrifugal supercharger and near 1000 hp?

Hopefully it's obvious to folks that I won't even put this up for vote because Tadge can't answer questions about any sort of new product.

Stay on target.

I'm not going to defend RC000E, but his point is apropos to this thread. Your response is a bit out of line. Per the Read Me First post in this section (which you did read first, right?)

Think About Your Question - Are you asking something that Tadge can answer? Put yourself in his shoes and act as if you've just been asked that question. Could you answer it? Or would it put your job in jeopardy because you've given away corporate secrets?
If you were in Tadge's shoes, could you honestly answer the two questions you asked in your original post?

The one point I always found interesting, was that Dave Hill DID talk of future projects quite a bit. I imagine some in house changes have taken place, due to the growth of the internet biting them at times. I'm sure Tadge won't ever discuss a Nurburgring time again ahead of time either, as that one sure has stirred the pot.

Again, the level of transparency with this "Corvette" situation is highly unorthodox for a major manufacturer....it's simply too much for people to handle. When Tadge steps down, I'd advise them to change the game and keep them all silent. Here's the car, take it or leave it.

JVP defend me....HA....when Corvettes fly!
