Ok - I guess I'm out of the loop on these but why do you guys put these on your cars? Other than the Punisher movie, what is the attraction?
No offense to anyone but in my area, I see them on all sorts of cars and some junkers too - and more times than not, its a young kid in a lowered Civic or Eclipse driving like he has a Ferrari.

I have it because I am a big fan of the ALMS series and Corvette Racing in general.

"Jake Mascot Skull to be Featured on Corvette C6.R at Seguna Seca"
http://badboyvettesstuff.com/about-us
"ABOUT "JAKE" – THE CORVETTE RACING TEAM MASCOT
The C6.R Racing Mascot was inspired by a flaming skull drawing and a "take no prisoners" message scrawled on the Corvette pit wall at Le Mans in 2004."

-hmm
It is NOT a C5 flag...
This is a C5 Flag
This is a C6 Flag
This is Jake with a C6 Flag
Actually there never was a C5 Jake. The idea of Jake came about at the 2004 LeMans race, but the first Jake to appear on a Corvette was at the 2005 Lemans race on the C6-R. The design was done on a napkin if I remember correctly after some Corvette Racing fans (BadBoy Vette's) at Lemans saw the "Take No Prisoner" on the Corvette Racing garage at Lemans. So the only real Jake is with the C6 logo.
