I like the coupe although it looks a little too Euro. The mid engine looks nice up front but that it is. Beyond that it is a hot mess. Plus mid engine would be silly, that isn't in the bloodlines.

Not impressed, at least with the exterior..

very lamboish, however for the cost of these things, the more exotic the better, as long as it still looks like a corvette for the most part

I say it's good to have this thread in the C5 section. Now we all know we will still have the best body style, even after the C7 is introduced. C5's FOREVER!!!!

Where have you been. There is a whole section just for the SS/Blue Devil/Z07/etc. And its a supercharged 6.3L LS9 with a rating of 650hp.

The back end looks like it is just sticky-taped on.

If they are going to do midengine,they should just come up with a complete new style for it,,,,That is NOT working...

Well golly, guess I shoulda posted in the C7 section. No wait, I shoulda posted in Off Topic. Nah, I guess I should've posted this in the C6 section. Oh wait,....

My humble apologies to all affected by my transgression. Just thought some other buddies in this forum might like to see a peek.
