Default 2004 ECS Corvette: Photoshoot. ECS blown, hand built, one of a kind!

This is Chris Wells' 840 wheel horsepower ECS blown vette. Chris hand built this car himself (including the hand made hood) since the day he purchased the vehicle and has documented its progress for the past 4 years in a photo album. This is truly a one of a kind vehicle. I was unable to get a mods list from chris but I am sure I can retrieve one in the near future. Here are my personal favorites from the shoot, but you can view images from the entire shoot on my flickr page, listed here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/35785716@N05/

I still have one rolling shot to do a bit later on and I may so a small re-edit on a few of the pics, but we all know how OCD and picky I am.... Enjoy.

Any video? Preferably in 1080p since the new 5D's do that.

That first front shot pic reminds me a little of an FC RX7... I don't know why (Not that it's a bad thing either).

Sexy car regardless

4 years of work and you couldn't move the lawn tractor out of the warehouse pic? I'm also gonna do the "OMG Wiand heat sink" spam.

All criticism aside it is very unique and 8 of the 9 shots are nicely done.
