Hey, where did you get that speedometer. Do you do lots of metric unit driving. It's sweet looking. 300Mph would be killer.

I think Lamborghini is one of the few manufacturers who can pull off the flat black.

That Vette looks horrible.

Looks like a lot of the ricers around here that primer there cars before their outrageous paint jobs. Then just drive around for months with a car that is nothing but primer...

Wicked car, but it definitely needs a complete paint job.

There was another one out there somewhere too. It had red accent pinstriping and some red on the wheel. Looked much better than these but still not so likey.

Yeah, it was Chris Cornell that had a flat black Z06 with red stripes. I saw it at Santa Monica Chevy when I was picking my car up. It looked F'n BAD AZZ.

I'm kicking the idea around for my car. Nothing says F you, like a tinted out, flat black vette with flat black rims and over 425rwhp.

The flat black FRC is nasty! In a ridiculously sexy way! You old timers need to get with the program.

Add a set of fixed headlights painted to match and I say it looks viciously wicked.

We old timers need to get with the program? Idea, get some taggers to rattle can it a paint job, now that would be ridculous and nasty all at the same time!
