Everything comes around in circles. It's just a matter of time until Stingray or Sting Ray makes a come back.

Why not call the SS or Blue Devil (whatever it is) the Sting Ray/Stingray, seems very logical to me.

Not to throw the topic off but reusing the Hemi nameplate for Dodge is just insulting to the original thing. But I'm sure it has brought them in a bunch of sales, it is amusing how much the old nameplates get resurrected though.

Maybe they'll do a retro C5 and call it a Stingray! (Just trying to keep this thread on topic which is C5 General!)

A NEW RETRO VETTE !!!!!!!
a guy drove in a C5 ( put on C5 topic
) converted to a retro 62 to our dealership sunday. i guess the guys brother is the guy up in the seattle area that designed the kit or builds it or something. that thing looked very cool. it was a 62 body put on a C5. what could be done with something like this if GM built it from the ground up new ??? a retro, bad azz, new Stingray
look at all the hipe over the Camaro and Challenger. it could be done and may go over very well as a second offered corvette new. could you imagine a retro vette with all new technology, driveability, safety, handleing, and reliability??? i want one.... i want one.... i want one...

Funny thing, My favorite old 'Vette is the C-2 Stingray. I bought a C-5 Coupe because many of the C-2 styling cues were in a C-5, such as the "valley" roof and rear glass.
