The only way that he'd get the c6r look is if he added a c6r wide body thats the only way hed get the look but the roof scoop s a little over bored but its his car so he can do what ever he wants with it...

Guys this is the BPP shop car, http://www.breathlessperformance.com/vehicles.asp

these guys have the at the forefront of SCCA corvette racing for a long time, they know what they are doing and that wing is 100% functional, that car sees more track time than it does on the street.

thats because that thing hauls *** and it's a factory gm race car, not someones personal car...someone who has lots of money and no taste in aftermarket mods.

IF the C6R could be made street legal, I would drive it on the street sans all of the stickers (and - the inlet restrictors). That thing would be too cool to go Poopra hunting in!!
