So China just came out with a c1 clone looks like a 58. They said the price will be $86,000. I wouldn’t care if it was $8600. I wouldn’t have it I personally hate everything that is built in China. It will be interesting to see where this goes.

You cannot consider that a clone, it in no way shape or form represents what a C1corvette looks like or preform’s like, not to mention it has 0 cool factor.

The side view is just plain clumsy. Harley Earl will be laughing his head off in automotive heaven.

Yeah we can laugh all we want but I guarantee there will be some idiots that will buy it. It could look just like a c1 and I still wouldn’t buy it.

$86.000 dollars! You could probably find a fairly nice driver for less than that and then at least you'd know you had a real one. Just saying.
