Attention ZR1 Owners and Wannabees!
There is talk going around Wixom PBC about allowing customers to come in and build their engines with us. This would be an option you would select when ordering a ZR1 Z06 or dry sump Grand Sport. You may even be able to have your name on the engine tag!

If it happens, I'll do it when my 2011 ZR1 is built.

No new info yet - we have been on our summer shutdown. But I will tell our management next week that there seems to be strong interest from customers that want to be involved in their engine build. Would be great to see it happen!

Build it, then plant tour then Museum delivery. Sounds like a hell of a plan. (Just cant swing a ZR1 )

Sucks that it wasn't started earlier!
I did the buyers tour at the plant and the museum delivery for my Z06. I had wanted to go to Wixom to see the operation and hopefully meet the guy that put my motor together.

Hello Thom,
A few faces have come and gone since you transferred, but overall we're doing pretty well.
Right now though, we're all kind of stunned by the sudden death of Dale Simmet (an engine builder that retired last April). Thom, as I recall you worked pretty closely with Dale, so you know that he was a very smart and experienced mechanic. He was also the consummate prankster, so there was often laughter when Dale was around. He will surely be missed.

PBC Open House postponed
It has been decided that we will be shut down that week to match Bowling Green's schedule. Previously the plan was to keep us open at reduced output, in order to schedule the open house during Dream Cruise week.
When date is set, there will be a posting (athough I may be a little gun shy to do so). Please don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger.
