In 1993 I'd say it is par for the course of the c7 today morphing in to a euro car. For 120k I'd do it if I had the money and keep it around. I like and it shows how much better it is IMO than the one above that looks like a '94 camaro. YUCK
I would have to think they knew it would go no where, but wanted to show their potential FAR above ford and even Dodge in that technology at the time. I would think they would have added more HP if it was meant to be taken serious. That thing with 400hp would have wiped out the other American Motors.

This article has been circulating around and it annoys me on multiple levels
1. Chevy has been toying with a mid engine Corvette for pretty much the entire history of the car. There has been concept after concept of the mid engine 'Vette" So to say there's already one out there is like "DUH" to anyone with the slightest interest in Corvettes.
2. This is not a Corvette, it is a custom tube frame with 'Vette parts bolted on. If that makes it a Corvette, then all of the hot rods out there using C4 suspension and engines are also Corvettes. This thing could only be considered a Corvette if it was manufactured by GM. Which it is not.
What it is: a pretty cool one-off that uses 'Vette parts. I dig it for that. It looks well executed to me, and it represents 90's design pretty well.
