Side pipes no longer in production. You might find a pair at a swap meet though. I like the hoops.

Well, it may not suit alot of the folks on this forum, but I'd rather see a C4 that someone has put time and effort, not to mention $$ into it, than a ragged out poorly maintained trashed C4. There is a 1988 Vette in my neighborhood that someone has had a for sale sign on forever and is just wasting away!!!

Must hurt the driver's and passenger's ears and so with the spectators. I bet that's an easy fix it ticket with all the resonance and noise.

I bet people would complain less if it were black or red. Purple is a love it or hate it color. Abeit the side pipes are not my taste, if it were all black I'd probably overlook it. I haven't found a wing I liked on a vette yet.

Thank god they put wheels and a wing on it. It seems to set the color off good.

I like the MKIV Supra wings, but not on Vettes. IMO No wing should be on a Vette unless you could trap 175 mph in the quarter mile. You need as much aerodynamicity possible and wings would just slow you down.

Its pretty bling and Zaino'ed very well so I'd like to think he takes care of it. I still wonder if that L98 is ok though. He might be revvin' at stoplights all the time and yank tickets every time for a loud exhaust.

I kinda like the wheels. Not my first choice on a vette... but cool none the less. The car is actually "some what" tastefully done. I've seen much much worse.

Being a show car, they might not even be hooked up. If he hooked them up w/ cats its probably pretty livable. Just gotta not burn the backs of your calves getting in and out.
