Damn, that is ugly. Somehow it violates standards of good taste for both the Firebird and the Corvette simultaneously.

Re: what would a Z06 look like in thirdgen skin !!!!

Nice to see people highly modifying a third gen but IMO it is a failure. Terrible body lines especially the fender flares. Fitment look poor on the hood/doors etc.

THIS is how it should have been done.

Re: what would a Z06 look like in thirdgen skin !!!!

yea i been following that thread a different approach and i like the way he approach better and where as one i posted seems to be moe prep for track where fitment and looks prob isn't or wasn't a priority , im not feeling the look either , supposedly it also retained the rear transaxle transmission , not the best example but interesting approach non the less

Re: what would a Z06 look like in thirdgen skin !!!!

I honestly really like it. think some things could have been done a little better body wise but it is also a total track car and not a show car. It could be sitting a little lower too but that's just mme. I thinks it's a really sweet car and it's good to see someone doing something different

Re: what would a Z06 look like in thirdgen skin !!!!

Gotta give the guy credit, it sounds like its his very first build. I know my first few builds were.... tacky lol. This kid took newb to a whole new height. I say thumbs up its a race car not a street car and so long as its fast and holds together? Looks are a tertiary issue at best

I really like that! I give them credit for all the fab work too. I'd rather see this over another typical Miata/240sx drift car any day
