I surprisingly really like it. Overall its a very well put together package. Not some backyard hackjob from the looks of it. Especially if you could get it for somewhat close to the price of a normal one

There were several of those at the Barrett-Jackson this year. I don't really care for it in person. Way too long

Found where they're built. More info: http://www.karlkustomcorvettes.com/

I think it's an interesting look. Definitely looks better in some colors than others. I didn't like the yellow very much, but the red and silver don't look bad to me.

That looks terrible. The lines and proportions are all wrong. If you want modern performance with classic looks, it's much better to start with an old car and add modern components. Here is a good example:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/laneaut...th/5890602917/

That car has a custom frame, C5 running gear and an LSx engine.

No doubt. GM already screwed that up with the new Camaro.

Sorry new Camaro people. I will be awaiting your responses.
