This thing was f\_ucking INSANE! Ive never seen a car look so exotic on the road, it looked like a million bucks. Exhaust note on this thing almost made me shit my pants, it sounded incredible. Supercharged 400BHP V8. Can’t go wrong. BADASS!
Car was in black on the road, with chrome 18/19" wheels.

The back end looks so nice. Not a huge fan of the wheels…but who cares!

lol yah…the one i saw today had chrome wheels tho, they were bad ass. Thing i loved most abou tit was the rear, omg, so sweet. The exhaust setup is so cool, it wraps under the rear bumper then curls up to the middle. Looks so much nicer in person, the pics do no justice.

gay car…all it can do is go straight fast and attract women…cant turn, cant stop=POS
however, it does look pretty aggresive…but id rather the c6 z06 if i really had to drive a domestic…

Front pics? I think I saw a fake one in Woodbridge. From the front, it was lacking the center lights that the V8 has, but only had the outside ones like the V6. I thought it was a Woodbridge ricer at first, but now that I know they’re out, I’m thinkin it might’ve been real. This one was yellow.

Aah… Well, I don’t believe it was a convertible, but when he gunned it, it didn’t go like a 400hp car… Went faster than mine, but it was more like a VTEC prelude or sth lame like that :lol:
