I'd call it brainstorming. A brain malfunction is owning and then flooring a 5.0 Mustang in front of a cop when he's sitting behind you at a light.

He ran my plates comes back and says, "Just be more careful."
I admit.... it was truly a brain malfunction moment.... at least I didn't get a ticket Cop was actually really cool about it.

Here's a brainstorm from JasonWW... I really like this one...

I liked that one too, but if you do that to a Formula it makes it look like a turtle, even without the massive horizontal air inlet. I don't even know what to call a C6, but I do know that I don't notice it (the C6 design) at all in person.

Idk. The scoops to me are one of those "iconic" firebird things. It looks less "firebird" to me. But 1 didnt look to bad. Great job on the chops them self.

Kinda looks like a Mazda 626 with the headlights painted.

Edit: I also voted no on all of them but stock.

Looks like the added center piece came from a camaro and not the corvette referenced in the picture. I think the bird in the bumper looks a lot better.

I don't mined the nostril delete or the JasonWW photo shoped car, but IMO the bumper looks good as is!

Lol... well I don't like any of the nostril deletes and I REALLY don't like it smoothed over. Car completely loses it's identity. However, I would like to see the opening idea developed further. If something good were to come from that, I think the firebird guys wanting to run FMICs would be all over it if it could be done cheaply and still look good. That idea that TRT was selling was fugly.
