C6 Stingray
I posted this piic on the Official C5 Registry. It's just a slight mod to the C5 with the exact C3 curves. If you like the C3 you'll love it. The nose needs some work, but 15 minutes in Photoshop does not render too much.

Re: C6 Stingray (dtrautwein)
Very creative :yesnod: :yesnod: But, front and rear "humps" are way too high. Too C3 looking ( I had a '69 and '73). That was then, this is now. I am a 54 year old Vette enthusiast that is just not into the retro look. I hope the C6 looks like something I have never seen/driven before. :) :)

Your picture has some merit. I hope the C6 has some of the C3 styling but that it also looks like something completely new that appeals to the styling of newer supercars.

Re: C6 Stingray (dtrautwein)
I know it looks very much like a C3. It was rendered in response to a series of emails on the Official C5 Registry web site. Memebrs basically had wondered what a C5/C3 hybrid would look like.
I'm a fan of the styling, but would rather have something completely new. Just keep the tail of the C5, it's the best there is.
