Someone must have tried painting a shark on the side of their C3, just haven't seen it yet.
I like the idea of shark teeth around the front wheel anyhow.

Silva the fellow who made the mako re body kit did a stretched mako vette funny car body and they were painted with a shark down the side, I have my pictures on the other computer still packed up.

Definitely a 2016.

Very similar to when the new Pontiac GTO was released, this car has no hood scoop.

I think that's due to come along in 2017/2018 !!!

That video is a real blast from the past. I guess it is really true what Christopher Walken said on SNL:
