Default Omigosh! An even fatter Corvette

Autoweek has an article about a contemporary Corvette chassis wearing a 1953 hat, but the hat is SO FAT? Yuck!

Looks even worse than the current oversize Corvette.

Looks like the offspring of a modern vette and a new thunderbird with a bit of FAS thrown in...

In case you didn't figure it out - FUGLY!

This car was at the Meadowbrook Concours in Michigan this year. It drew alot of attention.

It was actually put together very well when you consider that they had to destroy a perfectly good C5 to create that beast.

I didn't like it much.

That is an ugly car.

What is up with everyone going back to the retro look. I guess since Chrysler had such a hit with the PT Cruiser, everyone is trying to follow suit.
