I kinda like it. But I just woke up so I'm still half asleep. Maybe I'm dreaming? Goodnight.

It has a unique paint job, but the GIANT Corvette emblems plastered on the front and the rear tip the scale into RICE territory.

Personally the car would look 100X better without the paint job.

The gentleman had two in attendance at a HPDE – "Hooked On Driving," on the Monday after Road America’s Le Mans Series this year; one was racing while this one was on display for sale to the tune of $98K.

On the track, okay. But I wouldn't buy it to drive on the street.
