That actually IS the concept car. (There's only one Tiger Shark, and that's it.) If anyone is interested in the concept vehicle, you can find additional information here: http://www.tigersharkcorvette.com/forum/index.php?c=2
and here: http://www.tigersharkcorvette.com

FWIW, the production body package, although obviously influenced by the Tiger Shark's styling, is not called "Tiger Shark".

Back to the discussion about hoods, here's Jason Blue Boost's new production carbon fiber hood. It's a modern interpretation of the L88 hood. Notice how it does a superb job of integrating the C5's side cove design into the hood's heat extractor vent. Very slick!
