Not my cup of tea. $12.5K for that - good luck.

Its fairly obvious to me that some people lack the vision that many of us have with making our C5 an even nicer Corvette than the original design. We did have a good platform to start with though.

Lots of "custom" mods, a "cean" title, and only 150k miles--what's not to like? Sounding a bit desperate with the "Please, Please text me" sign off. Perhaps someone will jump at the opportunity to own this truly one of a kind creation; perhaps not (especially for $12.5K)...

the whole car is poorly executed, esp the front end...what was he thinking when he done that? I am more curious as to what are those things on the halo? I think he was trying to achieve what the evo MR did stock...sorry looks like ***, and a borla ti exhaust..must have the only one ever made..wow ..lol
