Corvette- type people who hold the "factory-only" ideology are, in  the long
run, actually doing more harm than good, and not getting the full  enjoyment
from their vehicles in the bargain. In my opinion they have  missed the 
boat.

Hey Mark - If it is any consolation to you, the number of Corvette  owners 
who are actually that Anal retentive is very small. Yes they are vocal  and 
over covered in the "Car" media. But I know a lot of Corvette owners - (and  
I am one as well) most just drive their cars. Some modify them, some don't. 
My  boss at work has two Corvettes, a 66 big-block convertible and a 2005  
convertible. He replaces failed parts on his 66 with as close to stock as  
available. But the car is not restored. He just drove it from near new 
(mid-67),  currently 100K + miles. His 2005 just turned over 8000 miles. It is, of 
 course, totally stock. (on it's third battery though-grin!) He would never 
 consider adding the telescoping column from a Corvair - or another 
Corvette to  his 66. I think we are safe from most Corvette owners.
