Here it is, guys

This was for the people who haven't seen it yet, and I included myself.
Just let it drift off this forum if you're tired of looking at it....

About a month ago, I think that picture was in every single thread on the forum.
There were even some nice photochops of it, including a pink one with purple polka dots.

Just let it drift off this forum if you're tired of looking at it....

I have posted this thread on the Pacific Forum where many people
still haven't seen a picture. I probably shouldn't have posted it
on this forum where people are much more up-to-date on the Z... An
introductory showing of the vehicle is scheduled for January in LA. and
this post was to help promote interest.....

Love the increase in hp, handling, rear tire width, interior improvements....EVERYTHING but the front nose--still looks like a late model Camaro to me........probably stupid 'economically' but that nose sent me straight to the C5 Z06 now vs the C6 Z06 in a year.........

It does need some kind of change to the front. Still has that American muscle look.

I just hope they can bring it in under $60K. Much more than that and I'm priced out of a new one.

Default One damn ugly car.

Corvettes always looked like Corvettes. This one looks like a heck of a lot of other cars depending on which view you take. The first mistake was open head lights. They look like smaller Vipers or Solaras. And what's with that grill....I'd be embarrassed to drive the damn thing. The side looks just like a Viper and the rear....holy fecal it does not blend with the lines of the car at all. I could go one but it's a heck of a lot easier to increase HP on a great looking car than to try to make an ugly car with higher HP look great.
