It's definately over the top, the color's a stretch, makes a unique statement, probably embarrassing on the street. I'm still having trouble accepting the 07 but I like this car. Most always manufacturers fall short on fullfilling their concepts.
The color is not good!

Too wide in the back! Front assembly looks cheap!! And those wheels are super ugly and went out of style like five years ago!! And that color is terrible!!

It's like a Coke bottle similar to the C2 but only in reverse. This car would look so much better in atomic orange and charcoal rims.

I like it.. Things I'd change.. Ditch the quad side by side by side by side exhaust for something else.. Lower it another 1/2" or so..
The grille is interesting.. Don't know if I would choose something like that, but I suppose it goes.
Much better then the stock 4x4 boxy C7. The wheels go well too.

My first look shocked me.. I think because of the color and my bad experiences owning a Firebird "Sky Bird" in high school. But the more I look at it, the more I like it.
It feels very video game inspired like Ridge Racer or Wipeout. I could easily see this being the "Master CPU" car in Tron.
Great imaginative work and craftsmanship.

congratulations. You just rendered the 2014 vette obsolete.

The work looks good. The wide body in the front is very natural. Maybe a little wider than necessary for proportions in the rear, but I like it. The diffuser is really cool. Any testing done to see if it's functional? Also, I really hate this body colored wheel trend.
And while I couldn't own that particular color, I think it's a good choice to show the new body lines and for it being a show car.

The work looks well done from the pictures. It is not hideous as others have said, but it is not to my taste, but it will attract attention, which what one wants at SEMA. It is a bright color which grabs the eye, and not a common bright color, but one associated with Ford. It does look Grabber Blue. I am not sure what a good loud Chevy color would be. A yellow maybe, but that has been over done.
The front is unique, I can see it appealing to a younger crowd.
My main criticism is the rear fenders are too wide for the tires. Not that the tires are tucked in too much, but that they are too skinny. They should be IMSA steamroller size tires. If the fenders are 4" wider per side the tires should be 4" wider too. Maybe 5". At least they are not the JDM riveted kind of tacked on style.
It should do what it is designed to do, draw people to the booth, congratulations!

Some nice wide tires with a more aggressive pattern would help the look a lot. The wimpy tires kinda take it down a notch IMO.
I still do like the car though.

Agree, color is horrible. Wheels look bad as well. okay for a show car but I would laugh if I saw this going down the road. Reminds me of what the guy did to the guys Porsche in Bachelor Party. "Dude, go check out your ride!"
