IMO the LB looks best with the silver wheels and body colored mirrors and spoiler.

clear indicators to replace the red and orange ones would tidy up the look in my opinion

I agree. Now, if only GM will do something about those vents and the rear lower fascia/diffuser............. The option on the grey cars does give me reason for hope!

Yeah - WTF is up with the gap between the wheel wells and tires in that pic? Just went over a rise? Airborne?

I bet we see body color available in year 2 or 3 and/or on the higher perf model.

Looks like he's banking left, perhaps on an off camber curve.

With that much body roll? Yikes! I thought there would/should be much less than that, especially with the Z51/mag shocks?

Hard to say the g load he's got, but it doesn't look out of the ordinary to me.

Assuming the pilot runs the normal 9 and 3 hand position, you can see his right hand at the top of wheel, so he's got some fairly good turn dialed in. Not knowing his speed, the curve itself etc., tough to judge either way.

I've said from day one the car starts off with too much gap. That is an awful lot of gap no matter what the reason, maybe the travel needs to be addressed.

It would be nice if it was closer to this. And I'm not being a wise guy, I think that much air looks silly.

Put it into a right hander under speed and the left side probably will look closer to that.

Nice try...taking a hard right naturally lowers the left side significantly.

Who could possibly think you were being a wise guy?

It is so surprising that you found something you didn't like about the new Corvette, what are the odds?
