You would do this if you had a small ***** and couldn't afford a Viper

LOL one of a kind!!! I have personally looked at several people's kits of this model. bogus rediculoous build gone wrong! I would give him 3500 for it! plus you can buy a viper motor and tranny combo for 5k!! I love this!

Just like most of the body conversion kits none of the panels fit correctly. It has horrible gaps and funny looking tires. Why dont they design a kit to make a Viper look like a C4. That would be .

Not one decent side shot out of all those pictures, I wonder why! I'd be ashamed to been seen in a thing like that.

Somebody was thinking, hmmm, how can I make a big POS. More effective than taking a bowl full of metamucil.

fascinating.

someone decided on the absolute worst of the C4 lineup (bad tranny, slow engine), then pimped it with the cloak of a lie in a body kit to look like a much faster, different car.

ultimate posing at its worst

doing this "one of a kind" thing is all about kids trying to feel their feet to the ground. they wanna be "different" but they have no idea why. teens with no clue are attracted to this sort of garbage.

That must be it...you just described me
I am in the minority here but I would put the kit on if it were given to me. I wouldn't buy the kit but it would make an interesting cruise car and would probably be a challenge to install

Looks goofy and seems kinda pointless when you can get an early Viper for like 25k nowadays

Quote at the end "These pictures do not do this car justice", yeah I'm sure it's much uglier in person.

So let's see, C4's more so in early models, are notorious for squeaks and rattles. So, I am going to take off the factory body parts, and put on unlicensed and probably unspec'd body panels instead. I wonder what it sounds like inside when going over rough pavement.

Don't worry, you're not missing anything worth looking at. It was a partly-done conversion, had some shots of paint blisters, crappy body panels, and probably not only turned the stomachs of Vette owners, but Viper owners as well.

Thanks for serving our country and be safe over there!
