I love my C5, but, with the right power, this would be in my garage and the C5 gone.

I'm in the awesome camp

I think thats the model Chevrolet should build.

Its a Corvette without doubt

Its a timeless design; blends the old with the new

I love it. If thats the C7 I may have to rethink.......................

Wow it looks like we all like it !! I think it's awesome, I want one. Someone should send that link to GM. GM should make something like this rather than than than that crappy Camaro they came up with.

I do not like it! It looks like a C-3 front clip and a C-6 rear with
a top from a C-3. Nothing new here. Oh well I bet it will trip more
triggers than I could guess.

Very nice actually. They just need to work on the trunk area and make it flow better. That area just looks like a hole with a lid. Otherwise, what a beauty!

OK, so I've gone back and looked at it 3 or 4 times today.

That car is Bad to the Bone.

I was expecting something bad. However, I like it too. Can't afford it, but shoot, I like it!
