I took several pics of it too, on my website gallery at www.thepowdercoater.com I thought it was interesting, but not good. It was at the Dupont Registry booth, but it did attract a big crowd and was hard to get pictures of without people in the way.

Everyone needs a hobby. I wouldn't buy it but I'm curious....did they make any performance modifications (or is it all just cosmetic)? Lastly, what is this 'curiosity' selling for? I'd like to know how vivid their imagination really is.

Hmmm... very interesting.
that's the kind of thing I really do like to see at a show - that's the reason I go to shows, not to see 100 cars that look just like mine. I also applaud the effort . Overall I think it's pretty cool. Just not something I'd do to my C6, even if I had the money. Can't imagine how much $$$ they spent to do that.

the fender louvres are kind of cool. Would be a bitch to use my buffer, and sure would eat the pads up, though.

A weblink elsewhere says they improved horsepower to 545HP by puting on Magnaflows and remapping the ECM.

That's because it was originally a Z06.

Doesn't look any worse than some of the Covettes I saw at the Covette Coral at the Petite Lemans and several local Wax & Brags. Nevertheless, it does raise the question of why?

I like the front fender lovuers if they are for real.

Aarghh.....ugly as sin (IMHO), but you know what.....some folks will think it looks great....there's just no accounting for taste!

I hope you don't mind if I show a pic from your website of the rear of that car. It doesn't even look like a Corvette anymore.

Was there this many hack jobs on the C5? I don't recall seeing so many hacks on the C5. Why are they doing this to the C6 so much?
