Default Anyone see this??? the NEW C3!!!!

Looks very close to our car. Notice the rear clip and front fenders. The wheels look sweet!

A friend of mine said the same thing when I was watching their free DVD last weekend. Looks a little more like the Cobra Daytona it was based on ;) I love that car, and hopefully I'll be building one of their kits in the next few years! Think I should do this one or the original 427 Cobra? Tough, tough decisions :D

It looks pretty good, but it has the look of a genetic experiment of crossing a Cobra with a C-3, with maybe a few Jaguar XKE genes thrown in.
I like it, but it does look a little strange.

The side view looks good (natrually, circa C3). However, I agree with others on the "Slobra" resemblance and fugly rear. :D

I agree on the rear panel needing something else. But I think the Daytona is way cooler than the Cobra. I also see way more Cobras. Just my opinion. Would love to have either one (or a cheetah).

needs a chin spoiler and maybe some c-3 or ferrari daytona tail lights to break up that massive blank space. pretty nice though. just an 'if it were me' thing, if i were talented enough to make something like that (and i'm not) i'd probably go with a little less rake on the rear deck and smaller duck tail spoiler.

Sorry

I don't think it looks anything like a C3.

I've always like their cars. Hopefully I'll get to put one their Cobra replicas together some day. Here is a link to their new GTM-200.....it's still in the development stage, but if anyone can bring it to market it would be the Smith brothers.
