It has yellow driving lights so it's a Lemans vette!

Not for me. Too gawdy. Looks to be well done and whoever did it did an excellent job on paint and body. The frame and drive train is beautiful. Very nice work.

If we are playing the fantasy game here I would take it, make the paint more subdued and go with deeper dish rims. Overall I like it.

I think it's pretty cool. I'm not a purist when it comes to cars. I like flared fenders, scoops, tunnel rams and such.

Can't believe Ford put it in their display, unless.................there's a 427 Cammer under the hood?

As long as the owner/builder is happy with it, I'm good with it.
What I like about these cars, are the various modifications people do (even if it isn't quite my style).
It would be pretty boring if all Corvettes were kept factory original.

Keeps the hobby interesting, if not lucrative...

With the Distributor in the front maybe it is a Ford.

From an engineering perspective it's quite the piece. From an overall appearance/design, it, ummm, well there's a 'name'mobile, if you get my drift.

I like it but I'm a road race fan. It's a high end LS powered build that was built to run in the Optima Ultimate Street Car Series. My only criticism would be the tires could use a little more sidewall and the front wheels would look better with more lip but that's a result of the CR7 based front suspension. Overall a very high end well done build that is meant to be driven hard.

Sign me up for the Cammer Vette and no apologies either.
