How about Mr.Bill in the Top Gear ZR1, This was the first time I saw the ZR1 and really liked it, It was set up with cameras everywhere, This is the car they use on the show that they tested the Challenger, CTS-V and the ZR1, They stopped in Reno for some safety devices installed before hitting the Salt Flats, I was invited to do a photo shoot of the cars and I enjoyed it.
How many remember that show?
Mr.Bill



And my son...

I would love to have those headlights. Do you think he just took standard "frog-style" fixed lights and removed the cover, then painted?

The picture sort of reminds me of those late night infomercials such as "Become a Real Estate Millionaire With No Money Down!"

They show some guy standing in front of a huge mansion hawking his DVD set and I'm just waiting for someone to yell out "Hey, get off my driveway!"

In this case, it's "Hey, get out of my car!"

Also 4GTABODT's c5. I really like the stinger hood and LS2/ITB combo. Also the molded in brake ducts are sweet.

I wonder what the rear end setup is on the "Me Fly" Vette. Love the rear bumper, wing, and L5s. I'd like to have em on my red c5z lol.

I think it looks great with the fenders it has.

OK, OK, I know. It's supposed to be a C5. But who doesn't love to see a beautiful car? As much as I love the C5, IMO the E type Jag was the most beautiful car ever produced. So just to give it a shout out...


and now back to the C5. Another of the most beautiful cars ever produced.
