Thumbs down Is it me, or is this vette....

UGLY!

Don't get me wrong, it probably hauls MAJOR ***, being that is is supercharged. But, is it neccesary to display your cars modifications across the front bumper with some cheesy vinyl?

I love C6 vettes, and would probably give my left nut for one, but when I see this, I shed a tear....

What do you guys think? Am I overreacting?





WTF IS THIS?!?!?!?

Well look at it, its ugly, but it caught you attention, looks like and a R&D car for breathless so if they can get you too look at it theres probably a chance you will go to their site to find out about the supercharger or other performance stuff they have... new potential customer.. May be ugly but it probably does loads for marketing.

or MAYBE it's an Auto-X car. I don't think it's ugly if it's a race car. Maybe he's going after the C6R look. Never heard anyone call that one ugly...

I have noticed that yellow vette owners tend to go a little overboard on the color scheme espically on the inside. (and no we did throw a ton of yellow stuff on the inside of ours.

Reason nobody makes fun of the C6.R is because it will probably own anything on this board on a track. The wing on that vette doesn't bother me that much if your really into road racing, but those stickers just take it over the edge.

As said, the wing would not be too bad IF it were a REAL road race car. The "roof scoop" could be a driver's air vent (like on WRC cars) IF it is functional. If not it is PURE RICE!!! I don't like ANY graphics on my car so don't even ask about that $h!t on this one!

Actually, it would own a good portion (the majority?) of the stuff on this board down the 1320 as well, in road race trim, no less!! This is before they take out the inlet restrictors which would put that thing up around 900-950 at the wheels!!!
