Nothing rice at all about that.
Although I have those wheels on my 03 vette. I dont like them on that car. For one the offset isnt right.
Nice car otherwise

WOW What a nice early Vette! I like the new engine ...looks familiar! I would have this car in a heartbeat.

As for the 'pushbar', or is a 'lunch counter' on the C5, YUK!!!!! really bad, not a hint of functionality in that design, just a lot of aero drag and REALLY poor taste.

I'll bet he's one of the under 30 crowd. Many of them, (not all) don't seem to understand the specialness of a corvette. To them it's just another car. which of course it's not. They don't realize there is some things you can do to a vette and some things you don't Ricer wings are a

that's just horrible.

i'm in the under 30 crowd and yes- to me it's just another car. although it a terribly fast one. i think many here are **** about not parking it outside or driving it in the rain. now if it were a ferrari- it'd be a different story.

the e500 gets the garage for now
