Over 100 people in the meeting, most in their 70's and older. The main topic of conversation were the various "burger" runs they were planning and who was going to be on the committee's and where to go. These dominated the meeting. Meanwhile, a small group was begging for people to work an event at the Iowa Speedway for an autocross that was coming up. Over $30K was being spent to rent an incredibly nice NASCAR racetrack and there was just about zero interest.

I left and never went back. The same type of mentality permeates this thread. Jake is about one thing, Corvette Racing and the resident "burgermeisters" are speaking up.

When I see Jake on a vette, or any vehicle I automatically know it's a racing fan and a supporter of Corvette racing.
I am a fan and supporter of Corvette Racing, and when I ordered my new ZO6 in Blade Silver, I planned on doing the black Hood Stinger just to break things up a bit, but after seeing a couple pictures of the Jake Hood Stinger on a few Grand Sports I decided to order the Jake, just to be that little bit different. I don't have the Jake mats or any other decals, but I've had many positive comments on the Jake Stinger. Like another poster said, as long as the owner likes it, and I do, so if anybody else doesn't like it, that's their own opinion and I can respect that.

I personally like it. Also reminds me of the old 51 movie The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Probably don't kill as many Swedish Elk (Moose in NA) as they do! Consider the US has a population of 325 million versus Sweden's 10 million they kill 100,000/year! But don't worry PETA folks that # come right back!

Made pic below. It may be a translation issue but they are called ELK in Northern Europe. I was told the hoof is different- but from these pics I found- not sure! ELK are a big problem in Sweden, 6000/year hit cars!

Full of what, friend? My opinion that Jake logos are gross and lame? An embarrassment to the Corvette bramd? The plethora of airbrushed underhood "look at me, I am unique, I am different than the rest" nonsense? Thinking chrome plated wheels on a sports car is foolishness?

It is no wonder sales are down, and it is NOT only due to the C8 on the horizon. Corvette has a SERIOUS image problem with the next generation of potential customers, but what do I know? I am full of it. 🙄

This board sounds just like HOA in Nextdoor. A bunch of self hating people with some happy ones.

That's why GM offers options! If folks don't want them fine but it does not mean their opinion is worth anything - other than to them!

I'm "old" and picked various wheels for my Yellow C6, Red C7 Z51 and now my White Grand Sport with it's machined faced aluminum wheels.

If you like chrome- go for it!

As for class, seen lots of Lambo pics that bring that famous phrase "WTF!!" to mind.

Also worth mentioning, Jake was actually under the hood of every stock C6 ZR1. So not like it doesn't have history (if only recent).

A surprising number of people desperately care what others do with their money.

Love it! And because it's part of Corvette racing.. it makes my Z go faster... ha ha... but yes, I'm a "for it" owner. May not be suitable on all models and/or colors but on my DSOM it sure is.
