Sorry but I just don't like the looks of flares on tunnel glass cars. I barely like them on even rubber bumper cars like mine.

Is that the car that the guy built a serious motor with a big supercharger on it, supposedly having around 1100 HP? The motor was camming hard. The video is on YouTube somewhere. All I remember is the vette was a black C3.

You'll know Merlin when you see it.

But that is a pretty nasty looking Vette up there. Kinda like a more badass version of mine
