Default Pictures C7 Prototype - Sideswipe in Transformers 2

The new prototype Corvette called Sideswipe is in the new Transformers movie. Hopefully GM won't screw-up like they did with the C1 and the "2010" Camaro. GM could have sold as many of the new Camaro's as they wanted if they had released them right after the first Transformers movie. People would have bought them like hot cakes. But now two years later...... the thrill is gone for most.

The Camaro in the first Transformers movie was a 2006 Camaro. The 2010 Camaro should be at the lots this month, finally. Don't look for that Stingray, or anything like it, any time soon, if at all.

GM already squashed that rumor. They said they would not bring out anything remotely like that. It was only produced for the movie.

It looks like a modern Stingray crossed with a Dodge Magnum.

I wouldn't buy one...

The snout is hideous and its unlikely that the back will be like that since it would be difficult to turn that into a trunk of any sort. The windshield is too small as are the windows on the doors... Corvettes need to stay on a path to become better looking Corvettes. Not spaceships. For the movie, its all good. For us, some design cues such as the shaping on the sides can be taken...

I would buy it in a heartbeat, but the "Butt" will have to be redone

everything else although I do agree with a previous post that the windows are a bit too small for functionality but they are

It may be a prototype, but I never read it was a C7 prototype.
