It might be a little more appealing if I didn't know they had to butcher a perfectly good C5 to make it. Has a few parts I like but my first reaction was WTF happened to that vette?

It would probably be cheaper to buy a Ferrari than to spend all that money making your C5 look like one, poser...

The exterior looks absolutely terrible, but I really like the interior. I wouldnt mind having that steering wheel in my own vette. thanks for sharing

i admire the work thats gone into it .. but ..
the front is goofy and f-ing ugly .. the sides .. some good parts some not so good .. the rear .. ditch the wing, are we still in the 1980? .. the lights .. like them .. very nice. the interior .. not bad .. except it's illegal to replace an airbag with a tv
.. so over all not bad but still makes me want to 
edit: i just realized it was an automatic too .. so yeh .. seriously because now it serves no racing purpose.

That thing fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down...
This is a classic case of "Sometimes too much is, well, too much."
*edit
I just went back and looked at the pics again. It's still ugly, but I noticed the carbon fiber paddle shifters behind the steering wheel, and no shifter on the center tunnel. Is this thing really paddle shifted? Is it a stock A4 trans with paddle shifters, or is it a custom trans all together?
It also doesn't have side mirrors. Instead there are two little cameras mounted towards the tops of the A pillars. I guess it puts the images on the large center screen. Cool idea, but sloppy execution. I can think of a much better way to do this.
Who built this car? They had some good ideas, but it didn't all "come together" the way it should have.
Who really knows the deal with this car?

Don't agree with the poser comment, but then again the car is not so hot either EXCEPT for the rear (without the wing). The moldings behind the front wheels are nice too.
Other than that its just too much for a really sleek, classic design to begin with.
