This way the car will always be guaranteed to attract a bunch of other posers to surround the car and start masturbating each other.

Now that's what I call a good time!

I agree 100% but as a point of clarification only, by the very definition you can not "masturbate" each other.

Considering that list of parts, the price is a bargain. Almost worth it for the LS3 engine swap alone if everything works as well as they claim. I even think the RB kit with ducktail spoiler looks good.

That said I personally would not take it over a similarly-priced C7 Vette, but if someone was looking for something lighter, smaller and more unique, I could see this being a great alternative.

I despise that crappy bolt on wide kit. It makes the car less
If they were going to go thru the trouble, why not just mold it in
I don't imagine they'll see a huge sales figure, so they would have time to do the body right. If they were selling 15 a month I can see, bolt it on and go but Everything about this car is right except that. It's a sleeper for sure and whoever buys this will have a ton of fun in it. For that price thought, I can have my Z06!

A sleeper, you say? With a wide body kit, huge wheels, lowered, a nasty V8 burble coming from the exhaust? I didn't realize all those tell-tale mods stil equaled sleeper.

cool idea, a turn key car with this much done do it i think is nice to have on the market.
This "rocket ninny" brigade is kinda sad to read though, does it really matter that much the parts exist? Sure the whole hoonigan and hard parkers can be a little annoying, but really easy to avoid....just do not go to there parking lot meet. Aero pieces in a general sense are kinda poser in general, does your 200whp frs actually need downforce? do you even regularly go to a track to utilize it? because otherwise there is not a big difference between that and a rocket bunny car. As for on this car it blatantly needs it, that much torque will still be realistically impossible to utilize, even with the wider rear tires.

Maybe Justin Beiber will buy it.

If the execution on this is good it will outrun a stingray all day long. I like the stingray, but this would be much more fun. That said, If I had 56k to drop on a car it would probably be a used C63 AMG. Or maybe a pretty nice new Cayman, or a used 911. Either way, this car will be targeted at a niche market for sure.

My assumption is that for that price you supply the car, and it does not include the paint job.

Price-wise, that would put it in line for a comparable LS3 Miata conversion performed by Flying Miata.

Somebodies a little sensitive about Rb's over here. Did a Rb tease you as a little child or something.

Although he expressed it a little salty I get where he was coming from. I like the looks of a well done RB kit. But to ME well done includes filling the rivets and seam lines. Leaving them like that just screams "look at me I have a RB kit". It just doesn't seem complete for a $50+K car. Just my opinion please don't kill me.

Actually on a real racecar then who cares about rivets and seams? The whole thing is that those probably would see little use as real racecars.

Great paint color!
