the performance upgrades are solid. that means alot.
the paint stripe is cool.
save for the laughable ultra-ridiculous wing which i totally loathe, and some very silly visual effects like the rear louver, the steering wheel cover, the fake gs stripes, and some odd decaling (all easy to reverse), and the mildy goofy front spoiler -- all of which needs ripped from that car immediately, that wouldn't be bad at all for $15k.
it being a performance-modified LT4 is what really makes it.

This was a nice LT4 at one point. What is with the spoiler and louvers?

On a positive point, the louvers should help keep the sun and heat out during the summer.

That wing is the ugliest addition I ever saw on any car. Personally, I like wings on Corvettes, but that one takes the cake and chokes on it. The engine looks good, but that's about it.
Basically, it looks like someone on PCP made up this car.

while the wing is a bit extreme, it doesn't look bad with the entire look of the car.
The bullet holes gotta go though, thats just tasteless

Because we are all individuals and don't just want to fit in. Some of us are lemmings, some are risk takers. I prefer to be a risk taker and think the world would be a pretty boring place if we didn't exisit at all. Spend more time worrying about yourself and less about what others are doing.

Why do some Forum members become so pompous over another's Corvette? Hey, it belongs to them, they can do what makes them happy, not what you think it should be.
Dayum, give him a break!

It never seems to amaze me on how many snub nose individuals are on this forum! So what if it’s not stock, does that mean it's not cool? Who in the hell wants to be like every one else anyway! I would really hate to see how some of you live, same house as the neighbors, same pet, same cars in the driveway, same t.v.,etc. So sad!
I love it! it shows personality, individualism, creativeness and most of all ITS NOT A STOCK VETT!!!!! Thank god for the individuals who do set themselves apart from the rest on this forum, without you this forum would suck!

This thread is going to get mean. I feel some tempers rising and some flaming about to start unless this thread is locked.

There's nothing wrong with being different when it comes to modding your car, but it doesn't mean I/we have to like it.But yes, I hear you, i feel a lock coming on.

Well
How many of you guys on here remember the movie about the Playboy Playmate that was killed by her Psycho Italian boyfriend? Remember his Trans Am and how pimped out it was with the flames and whatnot? This Vette reminds me of the same thing.
We are all individuals, that is true. Many are probably minimalists, enjoying the car for it's originality, and the clean lines from the factory. Others are people who want their cars to be a representation of themselves, flamboyant and over the top. To each their own.
I personally think of this car as VetteRice. Just about everyone on here makes comments about the Ricers and what they do to their cars. And I am not talking about the guys who really mod the cars and then drive them. I am talking about the fart can bellowing, 24 inch tire wearing, stickers from manufacturers that add 50 horsepower easy, Ricers. The wing that would keep a F/A 22 Raptor grounded with the downforce it is supposed to provide.
Is it my cup of tea? Um, no. If it is yours, then more power to you.
