Did you know that you're in the C6 section of the forum, not the C7 section?

Yes I know. But I just thought it was cool that it’s a Corvette. It’s highly modified and is a C7 chassis but has parts from a lot of different years

This is my favorite batmobile. Not sure which vehicle was the basis of it (probably not corvette related), but I figured since we are talking about batmobliles in the C6 general section, this one made as much sense as the others that have been posted.

Not even close. T-bird's were short and stubby in the early 60's. About the same length as a 60's Chevy Malibu.

Correct. The movie car shown in one of these posts was based on two Chevy Caprice frames to make it longer. Chevy powered as well. The "Tumbler" was a completely different beast.

Pretty sure this Batmobile in the new Batman movie is no where close to anything resembling a C7.
To me, it looks like they took the body of a '68 Charger and went at it.
