Yea, I'm with you on that idea. NO WAY could a C6Z06 compell me to trade my current custom Widebody C5 in. After all the mods and power upgrades......it would be a step DOWN!
Now whats the process for painting the dash pad to match....I'd do it in a heart beat if you tell how you did it! So tell me, tell me, huh, tell me!!!!

Are you KIDDING??? I've got nothing against the C6 Z06, but you, my friend, have a one-of-a-kind vette. Whenther people like or dislike what you have done is unimportant. What's important is that you have taken an otherwise wonderful car - the stock C5, and turned it into something very original, very personal, and in my opinion very nice.
If you absolutely have to have a newer or more powerful car, buy it. But I think you will be vey sorry if you let that highly detailed C5 get away from you.
Beautiful work.

Outstanding job...one of the nicest themes I've seen here. Let me add that I will never get used to the C6 front end...it ruined the concept of a Corvette for me...total 'clown face' with a slight smirk with no teeth.
