Being able to "do your own thing" IS America. Free 'speech' is still part of the U.S. Constitution, I believe.....

Agreed, I'm sure he does...

In all reality, there is no comparison in looks between a Shark and a C6.
I beg to differ with you here. I sit in my garage and look at my Shark and Z often. The sharp fender lines of the C3 are definitely there in the C6, there, but rounded off considerably. And the power dome of the small block hood is mimicked on the C6 hood. The C6 has C3 DNA in it for sure.

Cheers,
Pete

I'm in conflict; part of me is screaming "Blasphemy!", part of me thinks it is no big deal, other than the position of the emblem doesn't seem right...

From the pic is fits and looks good on the car. BTW, I heard it added 20 more MPH to the car.
