Edit: Oops i didnt mean to say that out loud. I think If you buy a vette it should still be recognizable as a vette. If you want a 360 then pony up the cash and get yourself one. I liken this to doing that 2000 model BMW front-end conversion on a 94 Civic. Sure it looks like a 2000BMW but it ISNT One. And when people get close they'll see it's a fake. And that you're a poser.

I would!

If you're going to make a kit at least make it original... don't try to copy another car.

without the wing it might look pretty good. it is an interesting design and fairly well done but I would not buy it or put all that cash in it. i saw this being worked on on this forum some time ago amd wondered what it looked like when it was finished, not too bad.

It's a variation of the ASaP car that I took photos of at the L.A Auto Show back in January:

Note the C6 badging...except on the waterfall, where they have a 2003 CE emblem!

Nice workmanship, but horrible design.

A unique cross marque interpretation. A lot of time and work has gone into the exterior design, as well as, the custom interior. However, it is quite unrecognizable as a Corvette C5, except for the tell-tale interior. But, to each his own. Cheers.

That thing keeps popping up on this forum every two weeks or so...the Creature from the Black Lagoon...

Hopefully somebody buys it and locks it away so we don't have to see it anymore...
