corvette is not a classic muscle car it’s a sport car

Well it does look mean,,before the monster decal,,that ruined the look for me. The vid was just "show'en off" and with that power I doubt it hurt the clutch or the car(kill'en the tires though) I can appreciate the look,personally wouldn't want it on mine,but it does look mean and has the power to back up the look! I guess it is the 21st century version of the "RAT ROD"!!

That car took a serious turn for the worse. The before pictures = cool, the video = POS. They went a little to far down the rice road IMO.

I saw a flat back semi-truck last night on my way home from work, and I took the long way, but that thing looked bad ****.

I posted long ago that paint job belongs on a rice rocket with stickers, a big wing, and a fart can exhaust and I got flamed for it. What do you all think with the addition of the ricetastic stickers down the sides????? Looked like sh*t then, looks even worse now.

I like the hood... like the engine... the rest is a waste of a good Corvette.

Not a fan of the flat black look or the graphics but that car has some serious 'bad-azz' power... ....

Yes Seriously! It looks like it's just got primer on it and is ready for a real paint job.

Mods:
Halltech, CAGS, Corsa Touring, AmR LT Hdrs w/CATS, Hurst Shiftr, RPS Stage III clutch, 4.10 gears

Mine actually ran and sounded good before I sold it in January. I'm now sorry I did sell it.
