Some people waste their talents in strange ways. For a cartoon car to create a wow factor or just attract attention, I guess it fulfills the goal. From a design perspective, it fails miserably. It reminds me of a very f***** up hammerhead shark!

While it is not in my taste.. the body work on the that huge 1/4 panel looks smooth also the seam is gone to the rear bumper..
Question for the Original poster.. Did you take these pictures? reason I as is I have seem pictures of this car before (sans snow). If you did take them, is the driver side the same? also is there a back window?
If that wing was 1/2 the size and 1/2 the height, it would probably work better with whatever they are trying to accomplish

"Holy wheel flare Batman!" That car keeps coming up here, but I've never seen a picture of it finished. The rear wheels take me back to the '80s when low riders would mount the wheels inside out so that they would stick out. That is not what they did here, but those are some seriously deep dished wheels.
I am pretty impressed how well the spoiler follows the same slope as the rear of the car. However, like MatthewMiller implied, it looks like it would tend to make the rear of the car want to go airborne.

That is more Lamborgini than Chevrolet.
The angle of the wing looks like it would lift the rear end at high speed. Maybe the camera angle but don't think so. Also, unless they changed the rear axle setup, the rear offset/spacers they used to get that stance will destroy the stock rear wheel bearings in no time.
Also, WTF

csthews and Raidmagic: I've never seen this car before but I guess it has been seen here before while it was in progress? Would be interesting to see old pics/threads on it. Links?
FOURSPEEDVETTE: Good eye about the snow. I didn't notice that. It seems to be real though if other members like csthews and Raidmagic have seen it before it was finished.
