Check this out...'75 GranSport?!

[OldSkool]

I know it's not real, but I'm digging this paint scheme on this '75.

I'm not too hot on the wheels, they look much more at home on a Jeep, but otherwise I think the car looks cool.

That's funny. I had originally posted this w/a pic of the car. I like how they changed it to thier logo to scam some free advertising.

I like the Grand Sport colour scheme but he should have spent a little more on the wheels.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Then I realized it's not that the stripes are excessively long, it's the nose of the car is excessively long!! The stripes really accentuate that.

i think they went a little too far with the white stripe and I am not getting the red stripes on one side. I do like the white stripe, just not all the way into the license plate.

I agree.

Yeah, if they had terminated the white stripe just above the point of the body line below the headlights if would look better.

The red stripes replicate the ones on the '96 Grand Sport, which was inspired by the real GS race cars of the 60's.

IIRC, the story behind the strips is that they were running more than one Vette with that paint scheme. The red slash marks were to tell them apart at a distance.
