Default Red Abomination In Orlando

Yesterday on I-4 heading towards Tampa..I saw an abomination coming towards me, that just seemed a little odd. When it got closer it was obviously some sort of Lambo/Ferrari conversion kit, with a C5 rear. The glass really appeared as though it was a real Corvette.

WHAT is it, WHAT was he thinking? And anybody have any more pictures?
GAWD it was hideous

Just like that hideous Hummer conversion for the Wrangler. Why ruin a great thing to look like an imposter. Does anyone think they look cool? Do they really think they are fooling anyone? The only kit/kit car that looks good IMHO is the Cobras.

Chris is right, it is an abomination. Couldn't get pics though... I have NO clue what it was. It looked like somekind of ricer knockoff conversion bodykit thing. (aka.. someone took a big dump on the car.) We're talking some next level shiz right here...

I've seen bird crap on a car that looked better than this thing....
