Please tell me this is a ‘shop. For the love of all that is holy, please.
And yet, the weird part of me had to find something to like about it... It’s the muffler-bumper. Mufflumper? Bumffler? Anyways, 1 part, 2 purposes. That’s some Gordon Murray level shit right there. Alt hough I’m curious about that cross pipe/bar/thing - does it actually cross connect the mufflers? How does that affect the sound? As an acoustics engineer these are the things I think about.
The rest of the car, though, is beyond redemption.

I’m just hoping this was salvaged after a wreck. The front looks like the outline curves of the mustang with sealed blah headlights. If the front was more curved it could be the modern Cheetah.

I actually like it! It would be perfect rotary swapped!

Aesthetically, it ain’t my flavor . But I’m a function over form kind of guy; I’d like to know how much weight was saved here ...

Me: Do you think this was properly vetted by the GM Ethics Committee?
GM: The what?

Looks like a Z3 with a Beetle rear end.

I vote for the reason being he had a short garage...

The Ethics Committee was dissolved by Roger Smith in a 1982 efficiency move.

yes, becuase the number one complain with a Corvette is too much storage space

It’s a minimalist Vette.
I like it.

It’s like a chocolate rabbit at Easter. Somebody nibbled off its nose and ass.

Oh no, I just noticed the bumper ettes over the mufflers. So likely not a dual purpose setup :( . Looks like they grafted a Camaro nose on it, at least partially.

I know the McLaren F1 used it’s mufflers as the 5 mph impact absorber. They aren’t visible, there’s a CF fascia on the back of the car, but the mufflers are directly behind it.
The mufflers on the thing above remind me of the TVR Sagaris. I t also has a rear fascia and I’m not sure if the mufflers act as crash absorbers or if it has a separate crash structure.

Yeah, I see those now. There’s so much WTF going on I missed them the first time. Shame, it’s a missed opportunity.

It’s funny how some hours of labor can produce beautiful custom vehicles, and those same hours can produce this.

As a lover of short overhangs, I kinda dig it.

But you know what? Look at this thing from a workmanship point of view. Somebody did a hell of a job with what they had. Picturing this thing was wacked o n both ends and a cheap Copart buy. Bet its a good autocross car!

I don't hate the front end.

Not sure how one gets to the point of deciding that's a good idea.

I like the front. reminds me of an IDX
Rear could use some work
