I'm still trying to figure out why everyone seems to spend a ton on making stuff look fast, yet never touch the engine compartment?

I bet it sells

"Car has a High preformance MSD ignition and beware, this car is fast, very fast."

I bet in nine days "Yellowstalker" will show up on the boards talking smack about his bad azz ZR1 with a 150 nawz

I have a Ferrari 308 and this car gets more attention than that.
If I took all my clothes off and ran down the street it would get more attention than a Ferrari 308 but not the kind of attention you want!

Money can't buy common sense or style.

The duct tape air duct is a nice touch. Other than that, it does look well put together, albiet ugly.

No expense was spared there either. As CentralCoaster pointed out, he used Duct Tape on the the air duct to air cleaner connection. Looks like he used Silver Duct Tape (the best) too. None of that cheap masking tape here.

"... for some reason the speedo, rpm and gas gauge works and sometimes does not work." If he actually made the car fast he wouldn't know it.

"... the passenger side window usually stays on track when rolling up, but have noticed that it sometimes looks as though it may come off track." An unusual trait for a car where ..."Everything is tight and fits snUGLY".

"The car needs to be driven and enjoyed unlike what I am doing with it." He's got that right, what he has been doing with it is just gawd awful.

If the rear spoiler was toned down a bit, it might look good on early C4's

"Also had installed, brand new KYB (Kayaba) Gas-A-Just, Gas Shock absorber shocks (the best)"

I have a 96 CE, but that's not my car. I just saw that photo one day and prayed that would never happen to me while making a u-turn!

If it was the same price as a stock, same year, same mileage, etc. I'd probably buy it.

At least the Miami Vice Vette had a decent body kit and actually looked on the outside like a Ferrari Daytona Spyder. The interior, however, was still vettish.

I saw one of the Daytona McBurnie deals, and I was not impressed with it. For the money, I would rather have a real 308 or 328.

As far as the Stalker, eww.
