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



Looks like it was there for a sticker install.

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.Originally Posted by SIN3
I maybe incorrect but didnt APR sell this car to some kid and he put the black two tone on it. you really cant give him credit if he did buy it. A shop owner built the car on their dollar not the average guys dollar that doesnt work at a shop and puts most of the parts on by his own pocket. Yes its a damn nice car but he bought it that way so this doesn not count. If I am wrong correct me and if APR still does own it, this still doesnt not count. Shop cars excluded.

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.Originally Posted by ShanesG

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!
