    And people from the Corn Belt claim that ethanol doesn't mess up your chromiums? Sad.

    There is a huge difference in Corvette owners and F car owners. I found this as I was researching the C7.

    What I found is that most Corvette owners on forums were already planning -- even before seeing one -- what they would to do modify it visually or performance wise.

    F car owners rarely do mods but a lot of Vette owners embrace it. They will remove logos, repaint parts of the car, add accessories, change the wheels, add superchargers, lower the car, swap out steering wheels, paint out emblems -- I've even seen people magic marker the thread in the seats.

    That's really awesome. But more a race car than a customized Corvette, yes?
