whoa whoa whoa....

first of all, the f-bodys have shared a very vital part of their entity with the corvette for quite some time...speaking about the engines of course...

if GM puts th LS1 into the camaro or firebird, then why not vette wheels? I put C4 wheels on my old ss and they looked great!!

I always thought of the camaro as the corvettes little brother...different body, similar spirit

What me worry? Who cares!

Now Iraq, Real estate Taxes, The price of Gas. They are issues more deserving of attention.

I don't see anything wrong with the wheels. Now Corvette badging is a different matter.
