What do you guys think? Looks like some extensive visual and performance mods, although there is a touch of rice. I am pretty fascinated by the lexan rear window to save weight though.

Although an automatic for a road racer??

Hey, he's runnin', racin' and no doubt cruisin'. No argument from me. It's a real honest to goodness Corvette with some cool mods. No knock from me!

its ok

Not my cup of tea but how a guy mods his vette is his business of course. But he is asking for our opinion. I think I would have waited and bought a new 2006 Z06 and saved ten grand. But I am sure he wanted to race now. I think the car would probably look better in person than it does in these pics. The wing would look better if the paint matched the car. Not sure why you would not know what gear it is in with an A4. The car would probably have the same lap times if he would have stopped with tires, coil overs, sway bars, and supercharger. Good job though, you obviously knew what you wanted and went after it.

Just looks like someone trying to put Rice on an american car. Way to much going on with it. Looks to messy to much going on with it. He does have a lot of money tied into it.
