AWW, YOU GOTTA BE ****TING ME! WHAT THE ****!

Is there NO originality, anymore!?!? I did mine as a mock-up of the Corvette Gran-Sport because my buddy owned a C4, and he said I'd never be faster than him. So I made my own "corvette" to rock him out...

That's why I have the stripes!

WHAT THE ****!

..and made them much smaller...

Granted, BRE was first with the stripes, but I don't feel as much that I copied their design as I did a mock of the gran sport. And by "mock-up" I mean that i changed the direction of the lean. Yes, it's a mock up of the corvette, but I was in no way intending to "pose as a corvette"

Old news Alan....

Saw this one in a magazine before ever meeting Ben.
Once I saw Ben's stripes, I just figured he copied it off the Vette.

I don't know about that(I'm not a vette fan), but I do know they sell a stripe kit on Ebay.

lol i was just kidding, idc where Ben got the design from, i've never seen it on a car b4, let alone another EF (untill today).

IMO, it's original, and you need to incorporate it on the new EF too :)

All I'm saying is I'm building a NICE daily driver. Not a show car...but good enough to be seen at shows.

Not so sure I'll actually GO to shows. But a show-quality finish...likely. She very likely will NOT see mountains.

As expected. Just wait, you. Even you and Dare are gonna be like, "OH, SNAP!"

Ok, well, Dare might, you'll probably be like, "according to my calculations...i crammed numbers all night, and your car is the equivalent to neccessary amount of 'dope' points required by the standards procedures of the EF committee found easily by adding the cool factory dividied by the number of lamefactor squared to the...you know what, Ben, you're not understanding this. Just know we approve"

And I'll be like , :bump:
