I like the color scheme but hate everything else about it.

Looks cool, but, not for me.

Wait - No airbag on the passenger side.

Maybe its just me but I will never understand why someone would spend that much time and money on a show car and use a flip out head unit? Its not like he/she needs to conceal it when not in use. Just looks unfinished to me.

Felt the same way about the corvette they did on the Unique Whips episode the other day. I guess I just dont like flip out screens

Alot of work, but a nice car has kind of been violated more than anything.

No need for the rearview mirror anymore with all that stuff hanging down from the top...

Looks like a lot of time and effort there. I bet it sounds killer.

Nice

I think my taste are just the opposite. I prefer a car with a minimalist attitude. I like pure race functionality. I like spartan interiors, roll bars/cages, window nets. If I wan't pretty, quiet and comfortable then I will drive the BMW. ( M5 that is )

I get in my Corvette to drive and I don't want to be distracted by a bunch of Kid toys or music videos. Give me an APEX and a car to chase and i am happy!

I've seen this car in person and the pics dont do it justice. If I remember correctly the gentleman owns a stereo shop that specializes in upscale car audio. He uses the car as adverstiment for his business. The craftsmanship is flawless

If it had to be done, I'm glad he butchered an automatic.
