Nice job, very creative. 
But, like other "concepts" not a real world Car. I scrape now. 
Your rendering is even lower. 
I am one of the Corvette faithful. So, until GM proves me wrong, I think the C7 will be a visual/performing home run. After all, its a Vette.

The rear looks very nice too .
May I suggest however a different exhaust outlet .
Maybe something higher up, like the Mclaren , or coming out the side of the car .
I like it as is though

You know when I was designing the rear I did consider putting the exhaust up higher but it just didn't flow with the rest of the car so I decided where they are for now was best but I must say good suggestion I think I will do a full blow race version of this thing and the exhaust will definitely be large and single outlet sitting up higher
also out the side would be awesome !!

I think the true test of any automotive design is how it looks with production limitations. Real-world ground clearance, wheel size, tire thickness, fender clearance, and at least token consideration for 2.5mph bumpers.
Of course, that's tantamount to designing a practical superhero costume . . .

Rear design looks excellent, Uzimuscle. It was a great break up and utilization of the whole rear "slab". I don't have a problem with the C6 rear but I see your rear design and said, "Yeah...that actually looks like what should happen next with this car." The C4 started it, the C5 ran with it even more and then the C6 again. Your take was a great change of direction while still retaining all the things that make a modern rear bumper "Corvette". The rear spoiler was a neat touch, perhaps something on the future ZR1 that will pop up "at speed" like Porsche's wings or Lambo's rear intakes.
You are very talented, I hope you are making moves to get into automotive design, if not already. We need passionate people like you in there for sure.
