That's not a purebred Corvette. There is definitely some rice in it's bloodline....

This car has potential.... if you could buy it for 18k and remove the wing, the advertisements, those horrible LED lights and start working on some real performance mods.




right there with ya

Default I guess my idea of MODS is very conservative

I am looking to add a new shift ****... this guy looks like he just stuck anything he could find on his vette. Maybe if I were 18 yrs old, that might seem "sweet" to me, but I am 39.

The paint job is OK. I don't care for the tail lights or the wing.

This is a long, long way from being a C5R though.

Yea, I mean it's not as bad as I thought. The wing could go, but if it's for track racing... I mean something to do with down force? Anyways, if not for the track, hell yes... take that wing off at once. But not as bad as I thought it might be.
