Geiger cars is a german company that does tuning on several cars and the corvette is one of them. There are quite a few wide body geiger C4s and also C5s and C6s. The geiger twin turbo ZR1 was quite the machione. They had body ktis for C3s and C2s also..some were nice, some were not.

At least it looks a bit less like a rolling doorstop.

I see what you mean - 615 bhp is pretty good.

I like it! It's the first wide body I've seen that actually flows with the lines of the car. Nice! Of course for over $40 grand it better be. Joe

Kinda looks like a C3 in the front and a C4 in the rear interesting, would it be considered a C3 1/2?

That C3 looks pretty good. Doesn't have the "tacked-on" look of a lot of the wide-body Can-Am type kits.

Edit - the purple C3. The one with the pointy nose and huge scoop is a bit too wild for my taste.
