I think I'll pass. It doesn't do anything for me! At some angles, it somewhat resembles the newer version T-bird that's already been pulled from production. I didn't like that either (discounting the fact that it was a F-ord). The C-5's & Z-06 are too nice right out of the box! GM's gonna have to perform a miracle to make the C-6 better!

The trick is to find the right donor car. One of our Registry members found a C5 totalled entirely due to body damage, so it was cheap to save the chassis and convert it to this.

I agree with Joel that does nothing fo me at all in fact

I'm no big fan of those first few years but this looks kind of neat. I wouldn't buy it but it's neat to look at.;jj

Thanks for the post WebGuy!

[Joel Fellman]

Running mid-11's? Well maybe now it's lookin a little bit better. Still wouldn't plan to buy one!
