The stripes look too wide for the car. Have we seen other striped cars or is this an optical illusion?

I bet they resemble "CP" cars at this point.

As in production ready?

Stripes just don't work with this car.

red doesn't do it for me. Maybe a deeper, burgundy metallic.
Blue and silver are awesome!
Waiting to see it in black (with and without silver stripes)!

I think they are too wide. Maybe if they shrunk them a little.

:agree:

I think if they were 3-4" wide separated by 3/4-1" it would look great to me - similar to Dan Gurney's '66 (red & blue) GT40s -

Hey Ralphie, I guess they need to shrink them a lot :)

As gorgeous as the originals were, their rear ends don't hold a candle to the rears on our cars.

Our girls' butts are cute :) The originals butts were, well, functional :) :)

I always like to see the race cars during and just after the race. They look like a mudder. Beauty is before and after the race.

... now all I need to do is figure out a way to get in the drivers seat and get one home

You'll likely need to confer/partner with/enlist the services of Danny Ocean.
