Default C4 The next Ferrari

Not sure if anyone has seen it. I tried searching on the forum but couldnt find a post.

What you guys think? Reminds me of the Ferrari Dino

Yeah. Also reminds me of a Datsun 240/260/280Z. IMO, it doesn't look right on a C4.

Wouldn't look right on any Vette, in my opinion.

I can actually dig it, but only with the right body kit installed. On an otherwise unmolested C4, it would look really wrong.

I think it would be interesting but the concept make me think of other possibilities. Reason this is brought up is Im in Japan right now on deployment. The body kit mentioned and others (BSM Kit) is close. Kit cost $3500 but shipping is $2000 to America. Since I'm over here I might be looking at a bargain.

To each his own, but I like watching my lights do the 180* flip when I turn them on.

What is this fetish with C4 owners sticking on globs of plastic trying to make a classic design look like something its not? How many Ferraris have you seen with add on ground effects?

While I support the right of a car owner to do to it whatever makes them happy, I just can't buy the idea that there's something wrong with a Corvette's appearance that needs correcting. If I were going to buy a Vette, and there were two cars at the same price, same condition and mileage, one with and one without a body kit, I would buy the one without, not even having to think about it. YMMV

I always liked the "clean" look of the hideaway headlights. I hope the corvette comes back to them in the future.

that and i love the full opening hood on the C-4.

looks like you would loose part of that

that car looks ok to me .

I'm happy with the "84", and wouldn't want to change it.
