That coupe was at GTM the last time I was there:







Looks like it was there for a sticker install.

Hottest coupe....Found!

That's an outrageous looking coupe, seriously wouldn't want to drive that on
the street. You'd definitely attract mass attention, mostly the wrong kind....
cops and haters!

No this car was built from the ground up. I talked to the owner as well as his body shop guy that did the work at Stillen day. This car used to be brilliant silver.

LOL!! We'll he has more black in it... But yeah I hear yeah, when I first saw the car I asked him if it was the APR G because of the obvious simularities. That's when he got into the history of the build with me. It's def his car he built from the ground up. Very nice guy too.

Very close to the APR car...but trust me the car was built from the ground up. I know he's on the forums...hopefully he see's this and can chime in.

Chris's car hands down is way better then the actual APR car, talk about a full and complete car, APS twin turbo built 600HP, Full custom interior, roll cage, full audio, it's widebody, custom paint, BBK, Custom wheels.

If I recall, most of the parts he already had in red where already on his car when it was silver, so maybe he likes red? I give him a lot of credit on the car.

It's hard to be original now a days with so many people using the same platform. Even with my car, hate it or love it, that's why I went PINK, I thought out of the box and went away from all the obvious colors you see on a Z, i've seen them all, all the blues in a different shade, played out orange in a different shade, any color white with a pearl or flake in it etc. That's why I thought hey Pink, screw it why not, it's different and no one would expect it, it gives somewhat of a shock factor and thats what draws people to it at the shows.

Give credit where credit is due.

Chris' paint scheme and color is different from APR. His color has more of a deep gloss look than the APR demo car and hands down the most complete APR widebody G setup out there!
