This guy is either some crazy eccentric, or the greatest irl troll in Vette history.

This is no joke. This guy is having a ProCharger supercharger installed at Kenny Kent Chevrolet for this beauty. No joke.

So while you are busy laughing or gawking in horror at this twisted thing that used to be a corvette, he will smoke you with his 700HP...

He won't smoke me because I have a 2009 ZO6 with a ProCharger supercharger and a Billy Boat Fusion edxaust system. Bring it on!

That dragon on the hood is a real liability.....

If that guy ever floored it when the supercharger locks in, all of those 700+ ponies start to kickin' and the dragon on the hood get's his wings a flappin'.... Pretty soon the car takes off into the air and smacks straight into a wall, just like David Arquette did in the Darwin Awards movie.....

Those are the pics on the internet I'm waitin' to see....Now,that's what I'm talkin' about.....

This is well beyond simple bad taste. Something else is definitely going on here and I think the joke will be on us.


I'm really hoping that this is his idea of roughing in the paint scheme and he's just messing with the rest of the world until he gets the car in for paint and body work or something...

Possible, but I still think that he's messing with an Ex who loved the car and he is them punishing along with the rest of us If we get confirmation that the supercharger actually gets installed then you are likely on the money.

pay close attention to the paint.

he has overspray on the 3rd brake light, the headlights, and even the tag.

If he REALLY planned to replace this paint job and the headlights.. he has no sense because he could sell those if he would just be a little more careful.

Whats more if he's "roughing in' a paint job.. why would he ruin the platform they're painting over with a crappy scrap metal dragon and harley davidson headlight visors??

I think we're trying to rationalize irrationality.

Agreed, as someone that does a lot of painting, the labor in un-f**king what he has done will exceed the cost of new everything.

(panels, emblems, lights, weather-stripping, glass, etc.)

Just run it through a shredder and be done with it.

Please don't take the camera - there will never be any "high quality" pictures of this car....

If I was to acquire that abortion, I'd send it out to get rhino-lined or something- at least make it one color.

Stan, I want to agree with you, but having been a member of a couple of Corvette clubs, I can assure you that there is a group of [ahem] older [/ahem] gentlemen who grew up in the '50's and think "more chrome = custom."

JC Whitney got rich off these guys, and they are still out there.

(And before anybody calls the "ageism" card - I'm 66 - and I think that 'vette is hideous.)
