This is why idiots who win the lottery go broke within 24 months. And I'm sure their entourage walks behind them telling them how "sick" their ride looks.

I'm going with my own 1984 C4. Two years to restore 30 seconds to make it look like this

Are you kidding? Those free flowing pipes are worth at least 11 HP right there. Just don't burn yourself on them when you're popping the hood to look at the Super Vette's Super Engine!

My sarcastic side came out... I asked him what he did to his motor to get him to 660 HP. He said, Nothing, it came with a lot of HP", so I said, "That would be 460", and he said, "Yes, but I like the badges, it is still a lot of HP". (Finally something I agreed with!!!!)

I would have respected a Z-51 badge, if he wanted a "conversation badge". But 660 HP??? (I did ask him if he knew how much HP a Z-06 puts down, he could not answer). I feel bad for the Z-51!! It's like dressing up your kid in some nerdy outfit.


There is simply no accounting for taste. (Sorry, lame CPA joke! But so true! )

I have seen plenty of over painted over modded C7s on this site alone. Not sure why people feel the need to paint up and over load a great looking car with tons of murals after market junk.
