Maybe a metal body is the 'revolutionary' part.

starting to look like all those fast euro road racing cars...Lambos, Ferraris with the driver more in the middle. Wonder if this one has flares on it to widen it for racing and the regular street version will be more like the one or two photos floating around?

I'd expect the race car to be highly modified.

I like theone with the round led tail lights best if I had to pick. This race car looks wicked. If the motor puts out it will be fast around a track.

2013-14...Since they authorized the tooling for the C7 and are buying it you'd think they know pretty much what it will look like and it has to be only a matter of time before the actual profile of what it will be will leak out enough for us to see it. Of course, if the government still owns a stake in GM and has anything to do with it the car may turn out looking like a green donut with no wheels at all.

There is a poll re: Stingray concept versus Jalopnik in the c7 general discussion forum. Voice your opinion if you have one!

There is nothing wrong with how the camaro looks. I think they look great. To me it just shows laziness on the part of the designers. Its like they just copied and pasted the rear lights of the camaro onto the vette. When was the last time the vette's style was based off of another car already in existence?

I have to say until the fenders were made right on the C6 ZO6, I wasn't a fan of C6 styling. As far as being exciting, I can honestly say our C6 ZO6 is pretty exciting when you floor the accelerator, more so than the 70 LT-1, you better have the Z pointed in the correct direction of travel when you drop the hammer on it.

I don't mind it, as long as it goes fast I don't care what it looks like.......they need to place the big engine {600+ hp} in a roadster...but probably not and the Mustang will dominate again
