Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. In addition I also thought it was pretty cool how the frankensport vette took different era emblems and incorporated them where applicable. I'm not against it. Now when somebody shows up with a "Type R" badge under the flags on their vette...It will be time to have a talk.

I thought it was a nice touch linking the present model back to its roots.

He must get a lot of crap from his C6 buddies for "steppinng down to a blue collar guy's level."

In all reality, there is no comparison in looks between a Shark and a C6.

PS: To prove my point look at the sigs. of 78Vette-SA and 2Tone82.

I like it!

1. It's a RED Vette
2. It's a tribute to the C3 Shark and the Corvette's fantastic heritage.
