Trailer Hitch Yup, bought one about a month ago. Haven't put it on yet but will when necc.
Only 89 bucks.... granted, it doesn't come with the little hardware but it's still almost half price.

I've seen some C5s with hitches installed. Not sure of the brands, but they did look good on the car and did a nice job of blending in on the car.

Do people on the road look at you like "what are you doing towing with a vette"?
I want to get one to pull a sea doo that I take on vacations and then when at the launch just unhook it from the car and walk the trailer into the water.
