No more power, just more weight. It does look pretty good though, except for the rear fenders. Looks a bit out of place to me. Too high.

I like it. Nice retro look that is clearly reminiscent of the 63 split rear window coupe. Anybody know the cost of the conversion?

You can bet it's going to be pricey. Much like the C1 conversions to the C5, probably in the $125K range.

I'd prefer an orginal C2 with a late engine, drive train, & suspension.

They did an excellent job capturing an updated look to the Stingray but for what I want in a Corvette I prefer what I have.

Looks nice but you could have a pretty nice original C-2 for what the conversoin costs.

It looks OK, but 2 questions:

Is it a real american Corvette by GM

GM did away with the split window for a reason...right?

On the plus side, it has actual bumpers, I like real chrome bumpers. On the minus side, the ones here look like crap. Looks like a huge blind spot due to the split window too. Chevy dumped that design mistake after one year for a very good reason. The fender bulges look non-functional as well. More tire clearance could be a good thing, but these bumps are just pure poser, no function.
