It is surprising how many "supercars' are actually not very attractive at all.

I like the Factory 5 kit...too bad it says Factory 5 on the car (then everyone will know it's a kit car made by a company that makes fake Cobras...).

Yeh, if I built one, I'd leave that stupid lettering off and delete their logo from the steering wheel...

The one in the OP's link looks like it has braces in its mouth lol. I prefer a mature car.
The GTMs seem like pretty cool cars, although I've never seen one in person.

Some of you have seen the car that I am building. It weighs 1980lbs wet, has 54% rear weight, uses the best parts for 1997 and up Vettes, has the stock C5 track and wheelbase, I styled it to look like the sports racers from the 1950's. I have a coupe version under development with gull wing doors.
I am selling these as kits that you can build yourself to complete cars. I will be showing the finished car for the first time at the Strictly Corvette show in Atlantic City this April, 18 and 19th.
I have raced this car with a prototype body and the performance is incredible.

the factory-five car looks like a c5 and a ford GT had sex.

If the stock C5 wasn't already so gorgeous to begin with, the GTM might be a viable option. All the other ones? pphhhhhhht. Their proportions look all wrong to me. Either Tigershark it or leave it alone...

It's still a Vette, but it's nice:
