Default Have you seen an Avelate C5?

1 of 30 built, on a 2002 chassis, looks pretty cool. For sale now on ebay.



It only has 1100 miles!

No thanks. If I were to ever change, which I'm not, I would go with the TS front and rear and maybe the T5 Widebody. They don't change the incredible C5 design GM came up with, only enhances it.

I was parked next to one at Carlisle about 4 years ago. It was owned by a fellow named Dwight from Wisconsin. He was a terrific guy but the looks of the car really didn't do it for me. He paid alot of money for it too.

I don't understand how you could go that far with modding a car and not lower it or fix how the exhaust hangs. thumbs down.

I'm guessing the other 29 were built because another 29 people liked it.
