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??

Where's EG? he has some competition...
So here's my critique...
Don't have enough lighting, even with HID's? just put in more foglights!!!
Forget what gear your automatic is in?? Just look over!
Oh, and for that extra hp and a little help in aerodynamics... super trick wiper blades!!
I'm just playin, the headlights are pretty cool
And that wing, since he does race, is ok in my book!
As for the interior, looks pretty
I'm supposed to be studying for an exam... can you tell? I'm just jealous, wish I had that kind of money to blow...

One Word.... DANG! 
Wished I had the $$$$ to do some of your mod. Especially like the Posted Shift Indicator on the column; Very sweet, attractive and useful! Yeah, a touch of rice.... but hey... us guys like a change from potatoes (now & then).
Looks like someone was having fun on the track

Nice looking Vette (aside from the spoiler...not sure how much downforce he needs, or if it's even functional). Exterior mods look very slick, as well as the interior. And you gotta love the Supercharger
