Cool Custom: The ASAP C5!

I came across this in an old copy of "Vette" magazine. (May 2005 Vol.29, No.5). Two guys, Art Richards and Louis Zember, teamed up to create this car, dubed the "ASAP C5". This car is one of the only fully customized C5s I really like. What do you think?

PADDLE SHIFTERS!

They tried to turn it into a Ferrari. I would like to have that console and screen though.

That would be sweet, just not in silver.

Theres a reason its only one of a few

It looks like the offspring of a C5 and a Civic SuperDuper Type R

The paddle shifters are cool though.

They state in the article they used to sit around the campfire and think of what they could do, what they could invent. Then said, "Nothing if it ain't big."

Not sure I understand the last quote. Buts thats why.
