    What a gorgeous car. This is a couple years old, but I still use this picture from Winding Road of the P4/5 as my desktop wallpaper:

    It probably won't have Ferrari or Pininfarina badging. Which surely makes the project a bit pointless, no?

    I pretty well hated Glickenhaus's P4/5. But the earlier renderings of the Competizione really had me questioning that.

    Until I saw that profile view. Still ugly after all these yea-- er, months.

    $3M USD to sponsor this car in the Nurburgring 24 Hour race seems like peanuts for the all the exposure it's getting. I wish Mint Advertising had the cash to do it.

    @Al Navarro: Not the right demographic for the network. Plus, we don't advertise. People advertise with us. We tried it the other way around once and it didn't work out as profitably.

    @Ray Wert:
    I wasn't thinking from practical standpoint...more from a vanity (and I'm not saying that in a dissy way) perspective. JG claims he will keep the car in the race livery in perpetuity...how is $3M not a good deal for "in perpetuity".

    Anyone know if Germany allows tobacco ads on cars?

    If it is not an Enzo underneath is it really a P4/5 Competizione? A 458 Italia underneath while probably technically superior just would make it a totally different car even if it has the same body on it. If it is 458 Italia based, I propose Mr. Jim Glickenhaus call it the P3/5 Competizione.

    The problem with this design is that it simply looks like a body kit. The doors are unmistakably Corvette. That's not a bad thing, as the Corvette C6 is a gorgeous car. But the Mantide does a much better job of hiding its Corvette roots than this does. Of course, that thing is ugly as sin too. So I don't see any reason to buy a Mantide or SV9 over a standard Corvette ZR1.

    "Thankfully, things start to get better once you turn her around". Winning quote.

    But seriously, this is an insult to both cars. Corvette has a enough of its own rich heritage thank you. It doesn't need to be the basis for an overpriced kit-car. The people that make and buy these things are the same ones that insist on putting fake convertible roofs and white wall tires on Cadillac CTSs. It seems the Corvette just can't shed its blue-collar complex.

    A Vette should look like a Vette,why copy the Italians when they're not exactly the kings of design they once were. How many people would pick new Italian styling over the classics?

    There's nothing wrong with the regular Corvette's styling. It's pure and purposeful. So this exercise begs the ages-old question:

    wtf?!
