You know from the street to the top of this spoiler it had to be 5 + feet

Guess when they put it on it interfered with their ability to look back through the rear window....go up....further up

Fixed it for you. There are probably 80-100 of these clones floating around.
Last saw the original at George Barris' garage sale. Of course the grandson said - that's not the Batmobile.

You know I kinda agree with you but it's ALL those car magazines that keep comparing the C8s looks and performance to other cars that are beyond the common mans reach.

" While there isn't a version of the C8 Corvette that can match the impressive horsepower rating of the raucous V10 under the hood of the Huracan, it's hard to deny that the C8 is a much better value than the Lambo. (that was in the beginning,  welcome to today with the Z06)

The Huracan has an exotic presence that refuses to be ignored, and driving one is a truly special experience. However, its price puts it well out of reach for the vast majority of drivers.

The Corvette has always been one of the best values in sports cars, and that reputation is alive and well with the new midengine C8. Our pick is the C8, best bang for the buck."

GM needs to fix that black plastic chicken wing engine intake below the beltline for starters. Remove it and have the intake area match the body color instead. The black accent looks stuck on as an afterthought to bring attention to the observer to say "hey look at my intake I'm a mid engine car now."

Better. But still reminds me of a Frankencar cross between a Ferrari and a Ford GT. But the Corvette did win its class at Le Mans which is a hard race to win.

Cross between a Ferrari and a Ford GT ( both exquisitely beautiful vehicles that are worth 5 to 10 + more than the poor mans C8 )
