I posted this in C5 Gen as well, it will be interesting to see the difference in opinion on this between the C4 and C5 owners. I like it.

The pic above obviously isn't the same mold. I like the ad's version better -- because its a C2 clone (and I like C2's better than C1s).

If you're wanting the older flavor with modern technology, this might be an alternative worth looking at. Probably (technically) better than updating an older car!

Personally, I like the bodystyles of the C3, C4, and even the C5 better. So, I wouldn't actually want one.

I wouldn't want one but to each their own. My Corvette is a track/sports car to me.

I've seen several of these at shows - they are nicely done and IMO look pretty good.
