Yeah, seriously, WHAT?!?!?!?!?

Those wings are atrocious, but other than that and the lambo doors it's basically ok. Hopefully whoever built it put good suspension components all around and spent some time getting the tune right. It might look a little goofy but it's still a Procharged WS6.

I know, I saw it, just echoing your "skepticism". Wheels up in third gear, sorry I thought it was a WS6 not a CBR.

I guess it could be worse, you could knock that spoiler off and never open up those stupid doors and have a clean ride

Well I had never seen the "lambo" doors on a 4th gen in person. I go down to the Mall car show and there is a red WS6 with stock firebird wheels, bad white graphics and "lambo" doors. I will have to say they look even worse in person. As the car left early I overheard the pack of "Ricers" making fun of it.
