We've all seen images of Xfans with a cool Xbox setup. My own setup is a 110 inch projection screened setup with a phat Dolby Digital sound system.... Mine pales in comparison to this rather sick looking setup inside this C5 Corvette....
The C5 Corvette ragtop is an exceedingly cool car when standing still; and it doesn't lose any of its aura at high speeds on the road. So what could you possibly do to improve on the fastest production car around? Moreover, what can you do that other C5 owners couldn't? After all you can obtain a Corvette just like anybody else's by purchasing one "off the shelf" at the dealership. If you haven't shipped your ride to Caravaggio Corvette and dropped 50 large in the process, you've got just another Corvette.
The integration of the Xbox proved to be no easy task. Technicians at Microsoft said the needed modification was impossible. So the installers dismantled the game console and installed it in the dash part by part. Above the new Xbox is the Panasonic CY-VMD9000U with its 7-inch LCD screen. As for the door speakers: factory locations were used, but the end result is anything but stock.
The Xbox game console rounds out the equipment list at the source end. This proved to be the biggest challenge. Kevin wanted to locate the CD-ROM drive in the dash, which required attempts at producing different lengths of ribbon cable, only to find that the cable could not be lengthened by conventional installer techniques.
The solution would be to locate the hard drive as close as possible to the main circuit board of the Xbox and lengthen all of the other wires as needed. As is common practice for any good installer, a bit of research was in order. A phone call was placed to Redmond, Washington. As it turned out, the technicians at Microsoft said the modification couldn't be done (which probably means they couldn't figure out a way to make it cost a lot of money while building a monopoly at the same time).
The Coolest Mobile Xbox mod Ever!

that would be even weirder than seeing a one eyed one horned flying purple people eater (which for those of you who dont know is quite a site to see)
