Ahhh, what's the big deal? I've seen C5 badges on other cars, trucks, and SUV's. People love the badge, even though many may not know what they mean.

I had to prompt a guy to roll his windows down for me to laugh at him for having C5 badges all over his gold Suburban. He even cut the one in back in half to mount it on the rear doors. I asked him if that was the C7 4-wheel drive prototype. He chuckled and said he ordered C5 badges for ALL his other vehicles, he loved the look! Still not sure if he owns a Vette or not.

There is a local group that Team ZR1 put together. Its called the "Big ***** Club" If I recall correctly, one had to do over 150 MPH to join. Then you were able to hang the big ***** on the back of your car. I wont forget the last BBQ I went to at Johns house... damn near every Corvette had em.

I agree with you. I have chrome z06 wheels on my coupe, but I'm not in the mood to argue with someone on the issue.

Z06 parts are great on a coupe...suspension, heads, cam, etc...but not the freakin badges. And come on...everybody knows the car has *****...no need to show them...I guess he needs to get some of those corvette undies to hide them

I've never seen the ***** hanging from a Vette (thank goodness). I have seen them hanging from a late model Trans Am.
