Love it, it's different. Wild and badass! I would tuck in the rear fenders a bit though. Otherwise I cant imagine this thing in your rear view mirror.

You Guys must be kidding, this car and the work that went into it is beautiful.

We can all pick some nits, hood alignment or maybe it's the camera angle, the color, the tires might need to be bigger, but this car will rock the show.

For those that don't care for this car that's ok, as I remember there was a lot of hate when the C7 was first revealed. I betcha this car rocks in person.

The only thing missing is for me to test drive it for them here in Vegas.
It might not be a daily driver but talk about a real cat wagon!

Already the pressure is on GM with all of their resources to do something for a Z0x.
The ZRx is kind of like lottery money for me, but a Z07 is reachable.

Great Great Work Guys

flat black and that may have been the nicest C7 on the planet to date.

I kinda like it....but then again I have a strong bias for the wide body.

I like it, too wide for me to own. But great for a car show.

Looks kind of cool, though. The color is different, but I bet it looks interesting in person.

That shape can handle the wide body….

The matching wheels are a little too much though…...

I like it! It will certaintly get attention. I wish they had spent more time widening the front fender flares as well. Consequently, the rear fender flares are disproportionately wide. I think that had they reworked the front, the look would have been more "balanced."

To all the Photo Shop wizards: I would love to this car in the all black "Murdered Out" scheme. Or perhaps a matte black or graphite grey configuration. I think with the right paint scheme, this car could be really SINISTER!

Nonetheless, I can definately appreciate the creativity and work that went into the fabrication this C7 Widebody.....

Superb for a SEMA car. Bodywork is probably spot on with the C7R.

And, face it fellows, this represents an integral part of the Corvette culture.

I agree that black might change the look of the whole design.

I don't normally go for body-colored or black wheels, but that looks SWEET.
