Not saying I like the look but I do like the flat window in the back like the early C3's. I guess that's what they call a converti-coupe? Or is it something else? Also, I find that a well done C5 kit makes it look even better than the actual C5 because of the shape of the C4's body. Wings are a no! no! and those hoods look nice on the earlier Camaros (82-92). Just my opinion.

Atleast it is the same color.


Maybe they have a twin turbo with a 150 NAWZ exaust?

If you take that stupid *** looking ricer wing off, I think I'd give it the thumbs up.

That "Vette" owner was probably mesmerized by some hot ricer chick or something like that...

You guys should come over to my car wash and see the vettes that come through. You would think that they were rice burners.

That wing would kick azz at a tailgate party.
As a vette it would make a great serving tray.
