Nice vid!
That is, without a doubt, one of the meanest looking vettes i've seen. The stance, the flat paint, it all works so well for the car.

I like the before pictures of the car, But the Video runined it for me, I have a lot more respect for my car than he does, I hate to say it but what he was doing any Vette can do SCed or not. And the INSANE on the side is over kill.

Love the supercharged engine.
Love the throaty exhaust.
Love the power, but all I could think of was, "There goes $800 worth of rear tires and who knows how much off the clutch life.
Hate the flat black look. To me, it looks like a black car that was never washed or waxed and was driven through a sandstorm near Mojave and that's how it has looked ever since.
And, as for the "Insane" bit... well, they got that exactly right. It IS insane.

On one hand I can dig the new edge look for a corvette because the same old looks at these car shows does get a little boring...
But on the other hand the corvette is a classic muscle car and doesn't deserve to be painted like that.
Either way, props to someone who has the ***** to jump on the edge and dare to be brave!!

Wow, why didnt they put that sticker on their mitsubishi and leave this car alone!

When I grew up there were LOTS of cars painted like that...because we could'nt afford to paint them so just drove them "primered"
