It's got that "Batman' car look to it. I don't like it, but I don't hate it. Hey,
the power alone is worth a wink.

"Ken the Party Man"  could you change your name to George, or Fred or something else?  I don't want to be confused with you.  No offense to any George or Freds out there.

I suppose someone would like that car.  But it's just not for me.

Now THAT'S worth $10,000 !!! Yeah, Steve, maybe you does has too much free time! Good job on it, tho! Now, take the T-tops off, paint it orange with a foggy yaller stipe down the middle, stick it in the middle of a cow pasture for 10 yrs, and you'll get an understanding of the car that started this thread!!

I think that the reason that overly modded corvettes end up looking like the batmobile is that the batmobile from the the first batman move was actually insipred by a stingray!! i found this on the web- its a quote from anton furst- the designer of the batmobile

"To accomplish that, Furst and his team "took elements of all the heavies images that we could think of, like that Blackbird aircraft, and, we went back to the salt flat speed machines of the '40's, when they were doing all the speed trials, an d then took elements of all the vehicles that had that brutality built into them, like the Stingray car, and put them together. Also, we wanted to have that sense that it really goes fast, as though it was just an engine."

Hmm. a cross between a SR71 Blackbird, a stingray, and a jet engine.... Sounds good to me!!!!!

AND HEY- just for the record, i think "Ken the party man" would be proud to drive that!
