Retro Stinger Corvette (Pics)

Kind of interesting. A bit like the ford GT, and old vette and Z06. I don't think I'd want one, but I can appreciate it as a design.

It's not bad. I've seen worse. I'd have to see a real photo.

Not too bad...but the hood scoop on the mock up is overdone and too high....keep it looking like the originals.

I like that white with red interior. Looks good!

"No 2 Alike" Isn't that just car code for "Ridiculously Expensive?"

I like it. I wish GM would do something more dramatic for the C7 . . . I think C5 and C6 look too similar. C3 is by far my favorite look, though.

Not bad but I don't care for the front bumper or headlights....

Looks awkward in the drawing.

Thanks for posting it up though.

Local Chevy dealer is a retail agent. I have seen some of their creations on Vette chassis ('57, '58, '59 combo Impala). Interesting but $100K plus is way too much.

It's better than most. but the front end is a little too "tall".

Someone tried too hard to capture the retro look.

It looks like it is constantly morphing and trying too hard.

I don't think I would donate my C6 to transform into such an odd looking vehicle. I think the hybrid C5/C1 was okay, but this one, at first look, does not float my boat.
