Cool picture. I'd love to see a C7 with a similar paint job but with the current colors offered. So it would start with white and end with black and have all the others blended in between.

Not real big into flames on a C5, but I gotta say this is the best one I've seen.

I found it on the internet under c5 corvette pictures on msn, and it came up with over a 1,000 different pictures and there it was, starring me in the face like I just saw a fully naked woman for the first time ever...Ahhhhh.

I like it and I'm a traditionalist in that I generally don't like customized cars.

Looks too redneckish. Don't like flames. A 2-tone done nicely with attention paid to the car's curves would look pretty cool but would be difficult to get right.

Nice but it would be better without the winglets and yellow calipers.

The car may exist in real life but that shot has been altered. It appears to be an offering found on HD Wallpaper.com, after checking the root elements of its posting.

Surprisingly, I like it! I saw this pic a few months ago which I presume is the same car.

The only thing it's missing is a number 24 on the side.

I would have to hear it to tell you if I like the paint job, it would have to sound bada$$ for me to allow myself to like the paint.
