Well everybody is entitled to their opinion. I just don't like our ZR1's to be referenced as ricer looking just because a couple of factory zr1 badges were added where they should be. That a 1992 and newer looks better with the badges than a 1990 is utterly ridiculous. ridiculous! If you don't like badges then you must not like any hood badges on any year zr1. why does it look bad on a 1990 and great on a 1992?? The General missed the boat period. There designers fell asleep and who knows maybe they wanted to save the two pennies and exclude the two badges on the 1990 and 1991.

Some guys have splash logos on there cars and that is ok. Does that look like a ricer?? To have your car labeled (ricer looking) is a big insult to a Corvette owner. I am for the owner to do whatever he likes within reason but we must agree that a couple of little badges wont make any ZR1 LT5 into a ricer clone ever. Some people might agree that a totally stock 100% car would be quite boring to own and some people might love it that way so we should be a little more accepting of others modest mods and if a car has non stock rims or a couple of accents that the General didnt include with the car new we should not single them out and accuse them of having that ricer look.

The general screwed up many times and shafted lots of hard working American citizens by selling them tons of crappy cars. They have improved over the years but lots of damage has been done. The only chevys I have ever owned have been Corvettes only. I don't respect the General that much any more based on its past performance but I still do like the Corvette. I am a Corvette enthusiast and will always be one. The General is lucky I am loyal to only that brand. There have been great people behind the Chevrolet moniker that have made the car what it is today despite the Generals bean counters and the gluttonous sloths in their ivory towers trying to kill the project for years. Long live the Corvette Zr1 with additional badges of course!!
