Pretty cool video. Would like to have heard some more sound clips of the car, maybe not so close to the mic though because that thing sounds LOUD.

As for the aesthetic of it... not sure it's quite for me, a little too much added on.

Like you said..."it doesn't look like a C5, it doesn't feel like a C5 and it doesn't sound like a C5"...guess what...its not a C5 (anymore)...

I respect the amount of HP but its too over the top for me... Lets be honest, other than this video - that car just sits in some mechanic's garage...which sad for any Vette.

Can totally respect the 1000hp. Though the video fails to even show the engine bay to back the claim up.

Aside from the power, the only thing "epic"about it is the amount of poorly designed "plastic surgery" performed to it. One man's vision of beauty is another's dismay. Glad the owner likes it and is proud, but I follow the less is more track myself.

this view right here gives me a pretty good idea of how epic the car is.

No shots of the engine bay .

I realize you are trying to pimp your YouTube channel but the front 'Touring' plate does not help the looks of the car.

Most of the video was just cruising below the speed limit, despite the claims of super fast machine.

You are using a C6 logo on a C5 (pic below) which is a big no no.



Saw some interesting mods but I just can't connect with this one, sorry.

Whoops, guess I missed that. Was too focused on the bodywork and screens as the camera moved past that area. Still there is hardly any emphasis on the "go" part, just the "show".

Car looks pretty tacky with all the embellishments. A lot of the body panels don't even line up (eg. hood to bumper).

For a video is focusing on a 1000hp car, perhaps some of the driving scenes could have been on a track to really get an idea of the performance.

Yup, that “second” spoiler has got to go as well as the side trim on the rear glass, plus the little BSM pieces on the rear bumper. Rear Z06 brake ducts are a faux pas. Big gaps between fender, and hood.
Horse shoe black stipe on hood looks like big “smiley”. You have enough black accent on the hood vents. “Less is more”!

I however DO like the German headlights!
