What do you all think of this re-design by Karvajal?

No comment on the model.

Wow - that's a short dress. Oh yeah, the car - front looks like an F430. Interesting take on the front fender coves. If you actually drove it the front of those rear flares would get so dinged up by road debris. Don't care much for the back end.

Nice! This would have made a great 2010 stock Corvette.

Actually, I think the model looks as sad as the car does. Neither one does much for me.

If you want a car that looks like a Ferrari buy a Ferrari!

That rear fascia looks like it was designed in the 80's by someone trying to think what "future" cars would look like.

I like it, except for the way the front fender vents 'drop off' into the door.


Got no problem with those 'thick' legs either...

too ferrari-ish. the rear end is somewhat interesting. Nice attempt but needs a lot of work. And whose 40 year old wife is that ?

Whoever she is, she seems to be having ZERO fun.

I saw this car at the Corvette show in Atlantic City in April. IMO it actually looks better in the photos than it does in person.
