Power, sort of. I like the handling and performance. Power can be had pretty easily for a couple of grand in a number of vehicles. I don't see it as easy as black and white. I usually see the gray.

These "kits" you speak of, what do they make the C6 look like? Any pics of what you're talking about?

While I certainly want a nice looking car (which I think the C6 is), most all modifications are performance based. I like the looks of the C6. If I just wanted to build a fast, non-descript kit car....I would have done it.
Not that the C6 looks like a particularly slow car....I tend to prefer a sleeper versus the 'reverse sleepers' so many seem intent on building. I rather like it when the other guy is looking at your tail-lights scratching his head and saying "what the F does that thing have in it?"
