Default Corvette Challenge Cars

I recently had a paint competition over on the Forza Motorsport 3 forums. 7 of the guys plus myself have made replicas of some of the 1988, 89, and 90 Corvette Challenge cars.

Here is a video I made of all the cars. Be sure to watch it in 480p!

Also, here is the thread over at the Forza forums.

Only 1 major thing wrong with all of them...

You used a '91> car to model it...Challenge cars didn't have the '91 rear bumper OR the rectangular tail lenses.

The paint schemes look good though...good job!

Well the contest took about 3 weeks. Some people finished their cars after the first day and some used all 3 weeks.

It's actually a 96 Grand Sport, that is the only C4 Corvette in the game so that is what we had to work with. It's obviously not a perfect match but it's all we have.

I want to buy some...I can't watch the video, are there links to the screen names of the cars so I can check out their storefronts?

Thanks!

Cool...I made my own C4 race car, but the ol' #271 is not in high demand

Hard to wade through all of the "faceman" replicas (seriously? we need that many?) but I found them. Can't decide which. Either the Pilgrim car of the Gigliotti...

Pretty great stuff, guys.
