Default Wonder how long console display runs before needing a reboot?

Say the Windows logo on the console display. Reckon how long that system runs before crashing?

This is old news. I covered it at the L.A. Auto Show, over two years ago.

To the person who noted the C6 emblems on the body, you are correct. Curiously, if you check the interior shot of the waterfall from the slideshow, it has a C5 AE emblem.

This car could be used as a "See, this is what can happen" at our next "Modaholics Anonymous" meeting.

I'm sure a lot of time was invested into that car, but it looks like a 360 clone

Should have gotten a 360 instead of turning a C5 into one. Gay!!

I think the front and rear look like the 360. The sides remind me of a Le Mans prototype.

I don't like the fact they put C6 emblems on it though.

The mods to the center console aren't bad, and the headlights are OK. Other than that, not for me.

Not a fan of the look, too ferrarish, to each his own but, I do like the concept of getting rid of packed air in the wheel wells when racing.
