Duplicate of a duplicate of a duplicate. And in the wrong forum.

But it is a cool car.

I'd rather have rectangle, square, what the heck ever then own that and not have a V8….

And people complain about the rearward visibility out of the C7.

Please don't compare a corvette with this true exotic american supercar, it is in a different league.

Car looks bad *** but V6 not doing it for me and I ALWAYS prefer naturally aspirated over forced induction!

Notice how the rear of the car flows and fits with the rest of the car, and doesn't look like it was just slapped on as an after thought (and not talking about the tail lights, but just the complete rear end).

The redneck corvettes can keep the round tail lights.

I would reserve judgment until you know exactly how much power this thing is going to make, and how it is going to perform.

Round tail lights, round exhaust. One company gets it!
