Default 2011 Corvette ????????

This weekend when l was watching Transformer's 2, l noticed a concept Vette in the mix.

The last time in the orig Transformers we saw the new Camaro.

What gives, it was awesome.

Help

Been discussed here a number of times. Highly improbable it will look like that. I actually saw it in person this past weekend at the Miami Auto show. Looks great. Was just labelled "Concept Stingray"
I would imagine it is working it's way around the country for the new car auto shows. So check it out when it comes to your area.

Hi Being that l live in New Jersey l have to run front plates so l had to pass on the C6. On the earlier vettes it looked fine going back to 1964.

I could drive without the front plate but then it would be a problem if l was stopped at over 100mph.

If l just drove at posted speeds then l could take the plate off!!!!!!


Thanks

Why cant you run a front plate on a c6? 1000's of people do it. You can do it without even drilling any holes in the front bumper.

I said it first - WRONG !!

The concept car from the movie is just that, a concept car. Recent magazine articles even have the cars designer stating that this car WILL NOT be the C7 of the future. Just a styling exercise to see what could be done.

There won't be any real changes to the C-6 until the C-7 comes out in 2012 / 1213. No one know what the C-7 will look like, though that hasn't stopped people from guessing. GM has said repeatedly the Transformers car was only a concept car.
