Default I want, and the C6 must have...

big freakin' brakes and removeable emblems so we can wax the car faster and better. Paddle shifting too. HID lights.

Those removeable emblems will be gone in a heartbeat. Do you have any idea how often people rip off car emblems? Make the task easy, and you'll be buying replacements twice a week.

Maybe this guy is just off the wall. Having owned a '62 327 fuelie with a 30-30 cam I don't think anyone in their right mind would jerk the Z06 for a 327. :chevy

Ditto, I can't even keep valve stem caps more than a few months...removable emblems would be awful. :nonod:

I don't need emblems to tell me it's a Corvette. And neither should anyone else.

Removable emblems would come off and sit on the shelf in my garage where they belong.

I would think one would have to lift the hood and trunk lid to get under the emblems to unscrew a retaining nut, not some thing that could be taken off that easy.

Hey Curtis, I'm thinking of upgrading to a FULL race cam now. IT'S A JOKE, just poking fun at the guys that list EVERY mod.

You have a point there. I don't need the continual display of pictures for every post either. However, at half my age you may not know that the term 3/4 race or full race came from the old flathead Ford days. As such we don't want anything Ford related here. You can use the word stovebolt tho. :chevy

All of the emblems on the C5, Coupe, FR, Vert and Z06, are stuck on with with double faced tape. :(

Make the task easy and they wont scratch the he11 out of your front and rear panels trying to get them off.
Yup, happened to me :nopity

Hi Curtis, the generic Crane cams sold at Auto Zone actually say 3/4 on them!!! I had some old guys come in and ask for 1/2 and 3/4 cams!!! I would just smile and hand them a cam and set of new lifters, I did not know the term came from the old flat head days of the late '40s and '50s though. Since you bit on my sig, I added some suspension mods too :)

People will steal what they want to. I'm talking about lifting the hood/trunk lid and there would be two wing nuts that hold the emblem in place.
