Default BatVette

At least the Batvette was built for a reason. There are alot of Batman fans still out there. Go figure. But the Firebird Vette well that's what I call a keeper. You build it you keep it.

Well....I would take a picture of it if I saw it at a show, because it's different, but It's not my cup of tea. I really don't like any body mod. on Vettes....old fashion I quess. Larry

The hood actually looks great. I don't like the spoiler. But at least he/she has 575 rwhp at only 9lbs of boost not bad.. ... While a passer by laughs at the looks, the driver of the corvette can make that pedal touch the floor, look in the rear view mirror, and get the last laugh.

And then drive into the back of a concrete truck while looking in the rear-view mirror.
