That car was at SEMA, I talked to the marketing guy for quite a while. He was actually interested in my critique of the car. I tried to be a diplomatic as I could considering the amount of money and resources poured into it.

The primary market is Corvette dealers. A dealer sends N2A Motors a C5 with a big fat check. N2A sells the parts that are removed and gives a $2K allowance for wheels. This is what they get back.

I'd categorize this as the idea that should have stayed on the beer stained bar napkin at Chili's. Though, I'm sure there's a certain group that reveres this as a Mona Lisa on wheels. I just don't happen to be one of them.

With some changes, it may have "some" potential though. The colors absolutely have to go, Aqua screams mid '90s. There's also something really awkward about the color break step down as your eye moves from the rear to the front. The trim is definitely way over the top along the side and I don't think the car had to be so literal when it came to imitating styling cues from 57-8-9.

Would I buy it? Probably not.
