No offense intended to anyone who has a car with this sort of styling. JMHO

IMHO, no.
I've seen some of those creations and the perspective of the car gets lost.

I can't help myself. This concept was just so well proportioned, and just looked......right.

That looks pretty good, is it just a drawing or ever been done?

I don't think it ever came to fruition. Such a shame too because I'd have been all on board. Looks like a C3'ified Factory Five GTM.

C1 & C2 windshield slope differential to a C5 is too drastic, but the slope on the above early C3 looks appears like it "belongs".

Throwback, I think I am like a caveman, I love the way my 99 looks, but I think the electronics are the worse part of these cars, really makes the far gtm super car look viable. The engine computers are pretty good but the rest of it (ebcm, steering wheel position sensor, I'm looking at you) is not so great, I like the 57-58 cars, would be a great body conversion on the c5 running gear.
