Nice concept, WITHOUT the stickers, though. Love the exhaust tone!

Default Love the Haters..

Your car is wicked and definately loved here in the US. It cracks me up the people that want to mention RICE anytime we use Carbon Fiber, Black Wheels and Throw a couple decals on our cars. Shoot, you wanna see that look at NASCAR and thats RICE all day. Some people need to open their minds and understand what fun is a sports car if we dont add our own PERSONAL touch on it. Im sick of seeing all of these cookie cutter C5's with stock paint, stock wheels and NO creativity.... The Paint, Exhaust (coming out of the side) and Sticker are all very different and for that I give you PROPS my friend. We understand you where on the West Side!

Your car looks perfect for what it was built to do!!!!

I'm sure you turn heads when you show up at a drifting event.

Bottom-line, if you're taking a C% to a drifting event, you better WIN, don't go embarrassing us.

I have been to many track,drifting and drag events. And Im holding the Corvette "flag" very high
Im almost alone in europe with this kind off car on these events.

Next year Im going for high speed events too. The goal is 400km/h.
Thats 248,54Mph..
And a 9sec run on 1/4mile.

Dont forgette that I use the car every day to work and so on.
And its street legal.......almost

Why are people hung up on a damn sticker!? It comes off the car people. As for the rest of it, it looks very killer. If anyone watches professional racing of ANY kind, you will see that team sponsors and names are on the car. Teams and individuals like people to recognize their cars. Drag cars, rally cars, 24hour racing, Le Mans, or am I the only one that sees the decals on them?
