That would certainly be a good reason to do it.

Fact is, the Z06 is my absolute favorite car on the road. Nothing like being able to look back, see my favorite car, and know they keys belong to me

Yeah. One of my colleagues just picked up a used 911 and I parked next to it one morning last week. I looked back, considered them both and decided that even if the 911 is a great looking car, my C5 looks better.

Yup, I like looking back at my new gigantic 10.5" wide tires. I like the way the tires profile on the side of my car. They make the Vette look so much meaner. The OEM sizes don't look like that.
