I don't know how to post pictures, but has anyone seen the Callaway C16 at the LA Auto show? Lots of horsepower and interesting technology.

I think it is ugly, but we all have different tastes.......

There's a lot to like but I saw a lot I didn't like. That front gags me and the back without the dual tail lights is another gag. The hood is ok as is the interior. The price is

The nose and tail don't bother me as much as those damn 'flying butresses' on the back window, they might serve a function (or they might not LOL) but they sure do look tacked on and put there merely to try and make the car look different from other Corvettes.
Not crazy about tan/beige interiors in general but that stitching and those seats do look sweet.
