I love the height....but it wouldn't last too long around Jacksonville and our speed bumps. 5abivt is a prime example of someone who could use that money towards a C6 or C7 but instead builds a knockout C4.

Point being? Being factory it still looks tacky. Simple body colored recessed looks better to me, but tastes vary.

It was just one of those things that made a ZR-1 a ZR-1. To each their own. If you ever get one you can remove it but not sure what's behind it, like a couple of small holes for locating pins that may need to be filled.

not sure what's behind it. The stick on lettering people put on the 91-96 rear bumpers that fill in the Corvette lettering look cheap. I have an 84 Z51 that's begging for it too. Lol

Lettering doesn't make that car a ZR1. Under the hood, wider rear....etc make it a ZR1. not sure what's behind it. The stick on lettering people put on the 91-96 rear bumpers that fill in the Corvette lettering look cheap.

so far, my research basically shows that as long as the od is maintained, much like anything else on the car, its actually a great tranny.
and if using the stock tranny alleviates a bunch of fabrication, then im all for it.

I believe it works fine but maintenance is key. The thing is I bet if it is tracked a lot it will not last long. But parts breK and if you are able to fix them yourself it's not near big of a deal.
