Default Does this look right?
Does this look right to you? I stopped at Sam's Club on the way home for some beer, and I see this parked next to me. It looked to be 3 inches shorter than mine. And it just didn't look like a Vette. I don't understand how it's shorter than mine. But it did look pretty nice.


PICS Below





Sorry on a camera phone so the pic's arn't great.

Looks to be a C4 --> C5 conversion. Never did it for me. The lines just don't quite work.

That is exactly what that is. Try looking at the interior while viewing the conversion as a whole, it will bug you out...To each their own. The owner spent a lot of money for half and half looks.

If the owner of a C4 wants a C5, why go to the trouble and expense of a conversion? Just sell the C4 and buy a C5 and mod it if you want it to be unique! So much simpler. I will NEVER understand why people convert one gen to another.

Like Johnny Cash used to sing "I took it one piece at a time and didn't cost a dime."
I think you fed your phone some of that beer.

It IS a C-4, and its a nice looking car as long as the owner likes it (and DOS'NT call it a C-5) there is nothing wrong with it !you some times play the hand delt you as best as you can. The "scooter might suggest the guy just has other "priorities"
