I prefer the lines of the C6. I would, however, take the seats!

If I could afford to buy a ZR1, I would buy the ZR1 not this car.

Garbage! It says "based" on a corvette. Based on what I saw in the gallery its a corvette minus the outer shell, some painted gauge faces and the seats. Oh yeah, and the $100k price tag! From reading the specs the Z06 would easily take it and you would still have $20k left over! For me....No thanks!

The body styling doesn't quite fit my taste, especially from the rear, but I LOVE THE SEATS!

This is horribly ugly. I wouldn't pay any price to drive it.

Some are saying how good the interior looks over the standard corvette...well, if stick on wood trim and a new set of gauges are your style, I could believe it. I hope Chevy never tries to improve the interior level to this "italian exotic" quality.

The only saving grace might be the seats as our stockers are not my favorite, but I can't tell from the pics.

The term "Poser" has now reached a new level.

Corvari, Fervette, whatever.... it's not my cup of tea.

Anyone else see the front end of a '70-72 Camaro Z28 stuffed into the lines? Ther rear is an abonination.

Also, I wish Chevy would get away from that light Cashmere and go with a true saddle tan like the interior in the pics. Much richer looking.

What is wrong with people? This thing is nasty, in a bad way. Especially the back end is horrible. The front end, wheels, interior are all .

There is no way I'd spend my ZR1 money on that. Now, if I could get one of the corvettes from the Transformer movie I would buy that one.

It's to bad GM doesn't have the brains to build this car. Geez, wouldn't want to build a car that has a WOW factor. Just like they screwed up the new camaro (it should have looked exactly like the one in the transformers movie), they will screw up the next gen corvette as well. Bunch of morons.
