C7 clone
I saw an Orange C6 twice in the last week in my locale that had some sort or body cladding/pieces installed over the rear hatch making it look like a C7.
I had to do a double take, unfortunately I was driving and couldn't get a photo. I live in the St Louis metro east area (Belleville, O' Fallon, Fairview Heights IL).
Any one confirm I'm not seeing things? And I'm not making any comment on how it looks to avoid offending the owner/anyone.
Guess we knew it was only a matter of time.

What's really crazy is seeing some of these kit cars sell for 60-70k completed. For that, you could get a C7, Gen IV viper, ZR1, or even a Ferrari 360 (although it might be a maintenance nightmare). And these replica cars usually perform like garbage.

California Supervettes supplies this rear glass,roof kit. It was available for purchase way before the C7 was even leaked so my take is that it was not intended for a C6 to take from the C7.

I enjoy the variety on the street and don't jump to a yes or no judgment, but appreciate their interest in cars in general. I find people's modding exhibitions of interest and rarely feel like putting them down.
