Nice concept art, but has anyone actually made a real one? That looks pretty sweet.

It's being built for the 2009 Woodward Dream Cruise car show in Detroit, Michigan (whenever that is). The designer wants to sell a kit if there is a demand for it...

The only thing about that one that I really don't care for are the exaggerated shark gills. I think that the C5 pretty much got it right. But otherwise, it's a beautiful nod to the early C3's, which were of course, gorgeous.

the GTM is the reason I started looking at C5's back in 2004. I was really thinking about a Mustang

and doing one of FFR's Cobras, but the Vette and GTM are just so much cooler. Now I've driven the Vette for 4 years and I don't think I can force myself to tear it apart. I just love it too much

For $25K more I'd rather have 650HP, race-inspired underpinnings, brakes and wheels, and this look:

The Callaway C16 uses a new C6 Corvette as a donor vehicle.
