Re: Favorite badass black C3? (SuperFast80)
Now that is what I am talking about, scares the living crap out of anyone seeing that in your rear view mirror, or coming up on it on the highway. Well done and all hail SuperFast80. :cool:

These guys could have no frames, run square wheels and still be on top the list ! They are drop dead gorgeous!
My vote is 1bad69 - but I am partial.... :cool: :cheers:

Re: Favorite badass black C3? (Turbo-Jet)
All really, really nice cars. I'm going to have to get used to that HUGH wheel look. Right now, I'm not crazy about it....but....maybe in time those 18", 19" and 20" wheels will look right. Does anybody else not like this look or is it just me.....?

I know it is a little late in the game to be adding people, but due to my horrible memory I just remembered my entry's name: 2inspire I haven't seen him posting lately, maybe he was having too much fun over the summer and he will be back this winter.

Having roared down the highway alongside 1bad69 with the sun glinting off that paint and those wheels, and having stood a few feet away from that monster and felt the earth shake when she took the dyno run, 1bad69 gets my vote.
My own view (and I know that others have a different opinion, which they are, of course, entitled to... so, in advance, cool your jets!) is that the flares and other 'glass modifications on some of the other Vettes pictured above make them look like kit cars. I like the clean original lines of 1bad69's, with the added flash of the chrome pipes and awesome wheels.

It looks like the people have chosen 1bad69. :cheers: I haven't ridden in any one of the other and I am SURE I would poopie a loaf if I did but I have been in 1bad69s. let me tell you, I have driven and ridden in probably 20 stock and modified Corvettes but that car had the most torque I have ever felt. :yesnod:

Re: Favorite badass black C3? (SuperFast80)
Black is definitely one of teh :cool: est colors. And owning a black one myself, I realize how much work it is to keep them all that damn shiny-looking. My hats off to all of those bad-azz-black-vettes. I would take them all.

You should keep in mind that fender flares were an actual option. So, just because you see bigger flares doesn't mean that it was customized.

I think the mods I had in mind when I made the comment were not just flares, but those projects where somebody tries to make a C3 look like some freakish batmobile. Don't like that, at all!

i saw one guy who had a black 75 with hooker side pipes a scooped hood and 80s stlye rear bumper glassed into the body. the coolest part of the car was the "Bat-Logo" front license plate.
if i was batman, and im not saying im not, i would drive a C3.
