Interesting question look inside please
Here is a question that all should know the answers. The question is!! Do you go to a car show to see stock Corvettes or modified Corvettes?
My response is, I like to see modified cars. I can go to a dealership to see stock cars. Should be interesting!!! Thanks

Both, I like to see how people manage to maintain the originality of thier cars, and also see how far they push them. Something for everyone, to each thier own.

I go to car shows to see 1972 and later cars, not C6 Corvettes. Don't get me wrong, I love my Vette, but bottom line, when it comes to a C6, with the exception of Callaway and maybe some CCW or other nice wheels, I like them stock, so there really isn't much to see.

My Car is highly modified and when I go to a meet it's hard for me to get away from my car as people ask so many questions, so I would assume that a lot like looking at modified cars.

As someone who EXHIBITS in these cars shows I have some insight to what owners of C6's really look for. I have a Black Vert. The only real mod I have are 2 tone seats (Blk/Cashmere). The number one question I am asked is....HOW DO YOU KEEP IT SOOOOOOO CLEAN? I have entered 5 shows this summer and won 1st in class (non-modified Vette)in 4 of them. For me personally, I like to see the modified Vettes. It's amazing what some Vette owners do to their cars. Some are real works of Art....

not a big car show fan, boring to me. I'd also rather be out driving the car, taking trips, ect. i really dont care for the modded cars as here in ca you cant really legally do anything to them (which is irritating).
all my cars (10) are completely stock, including my old ones.

If it's a Vette event weekend, I'd prefer it be racing.
But if it's a show weekend, I don't show and shine. I park and walk.
I go to Vette shows to visit.
