That's good one.
Does anyone know about this corvette?

Actually, the car is a Ferrari...the owner just decided that the corvette was a much better car so he kept the front end stock and changed the rest of the car!

I wanted to find out more about it because I personally like it. There really isn't a huge selection of options when it comes to body kits for the C-5. If it was a new kit, i'd like to find out more about it.

If I could buy a C5 for ~$25k, dump another $10k in body/paint and get something exotic to back up the performance, why wouldn't I?
This whole crap about "if it's not a stock Vette, it sucks" or even better the passive-aggressive racist BS of "it looks like rice" if you do anything to your car other than throw a set of chrome OEM wheels is just ****ing stupid!
If this front costs $1000, where do I sign up?
PS. Those later pix are umm... ridiculous. The body lines don't work together, although the headlights look great!

I think I remember reading that this car was a twin turbo and they wanted to make two spots for the intercoolers. They were partially modeling this after a ferrari and 69 corvette front bumper. I could be wrong though, but I read that somewhere.
