Good thing none of the members on here live in Ohio... Or have good friends there eh? Because of course everybody that lives away from a coast is a redneck...

I reckon with some work there could be a hint of Barris about that, I wasn't feeling the front end and for sure I'd change some lines on it, but when I saw the rear it could be made to work. I'm not trying to be positive about it, but I genuinely think it could work with some large diameter steels and period caps, maybe a sculpted bench seat interior and very low...

Edited because I just remembered the photo below was taken in Ohio...

Twas a joke sir

Nothing against Ohio, and if the Vette is at Mid Ohio I agree that it is a fantastic track.

I think it could be made to work.. but I was thinking more along the lines of stock bodywork, some slotted mags, maybe even a supercharger-style scoop poking through the hood. Unless you're talking about basically redesigning the whole thing, I don't see a way to smoothly integrate that contour front end in (Note Mondeo = Contour in US)
