Ah so you have joined the ranks of the modders now

It's all in moderation, I think we've all seen some Corvettes overly modified , and they look ridiculous.

I'm sure that would be in the top 10 list!

No doubt there are more ridiculous looking Corvettes out there.

The only thing I can come up with is that is a race car as the exhaust exits in front of the rear tires NASCAR style. It's hard to tell but the diamond plate may be welded to the frame to increase rigidity????

My guess would be more along the lines of restomod, track car, autocross car.

I'd love to see more of the car as someone has put a lot of time and money into it.
