Behold, the first Pratt & Miller C6RS Convertible!
Just days after we became enamored with Jay Leno's E85-powered C6RS Corvette at SEMA this past year, Pratt and Miller announced it would be producing the cars for the public, providing you had a Corvette and $185,000 to do the conversion. Included with each C6RS is carbon fiber bodywork, an adjustable suspension, upgraded brakes, and a 600-horsepower 500ci V8, among many other modifications. Pratt and Miller set availability of the C6RS for April of this year, but the first has already been delivered in the form of a yellow convertible. Who's the lucky customer? None other than Jim Miller, co-owner of Pratt and Miller. We guess if anybody deserves the first one, it's him. Thanks for the tip, Fletcher!

Kind of pointless, but so incredibly awesome!

umm, smoke'em if you've got'em?
Seems a little rediculous... but who am I to judge!

The headlights, aero upgrades, and paint selection kills it for me. What a tacky car.

Agreed. It looks like a plastic toy. Maybe it's better in person, but in the photos it doesn't look good.

All of that body needs bigger wheels. Looks teenage-boy honda-ish without properly sized wheels. *flame suit on*

i dont mind the paint, body mods, etc as much as its pointless to have an enthusiast car like this with an automatic transmission.

I didn't even notice that... I don't get it. What are they going for here? A penis extension for the retired no-taste crowd?

Those wheels looks too small , especially up front. You know what they say about a man with small feet...

185000 and no interior upgrades?!
idk, I'd go for an aston or porsche probably but I have no doubt they will find buyers. its a matter of personal taste and I'm not going to knock someone for choosing this.

There's a LOT of cars I'd rather have than this, especially at that price.

I would most trust these guys with knowing how to build a fast Vette... Overpowered ridiculousness still goes to Lingenfelter, but this to have a precision, ground-up built car from the team that build the C6.R's (and the old C5.R's, as well as the CTS-V's), and powered buy a custom built V8 from the engine builders for the above teams, is more of a plus in my books

If you could formulate a complete sentence, your opinion would matter in my books.

(sorry about the wording... I hadn't had breakfast yet, and i was in a rush to get to class) Let me rephrase then... If I had $250k to build a Vette, Pratt & Miller would get my money... simple as that

That's cool and all....but those rims....DROOL!!! I'd love to get a set of those. Anybody know what those are?

I would think the co-owner would be more fixed on getting this out to his customers than he would be on having his own first.
Maybe that's just me. Then again, it's not my business and I don't run it. :)
