I buy my cars for the driving experience, not how many other people have one. Really mean no offense, I understand.
It is surprising that on any "higher end" performance car enthusiast website there actually seems to be more people who own the car for the attention than the driving experience.

There are two reasons for changing the fenders.

1) Looks
2) Performance

I agree that putting badges on a is stupid. Don't call it a Z06 when it's not one. But C6 guys don't really have choice when they want to put more rubber on the road.

Z06's enjoy the advantage of using the largest tire they can find. C6's have no other choice but to change the fenders if they want to go 345.

There are Z06's that have converted to automatics for drag racing or whatever and targa conversions. Z06's do the same thing to get what they want.

All other supercars like Ferrari, Lambo, Audi, Porsche, etc. have the choice of verts and automatics, but GM hasn't done that yet with the Z06 and ZR1, but they really need to.

There are plenty of people there with money that would buy the Z06 if it was an automatic. Most guys would even stretch to get the Z06 even it is was out of their price range.

GM - just do it. Make them into automatics and watch sales sky rocket.
