I like this, but make the nose longer ... Than it looks more like a Corvette ...

But it is already really good looking ... better than the lambo style C7 crap I've seen lately ...

lol I dont know what it was but something just made the rx8 jump out. I agree that it needs to be stretched out a little, make it look less like a hatchback in the rear.

Either way its an awesome drawing, i cant do that so props for the creativity and talent!

Doesn't look like it would look right in a convertible version.

Coupes look industrial next to my convertible stable: '61 Corvette, '68 Impala, '69 Corvette, and '04 SRT-10.

That's just my opinion - I will never buy a coupe, with removable panels or fixed....

The black one is fairly decent,the red one is unmentionable.

Still,you have greater skills in that area than I,and I applaude
your vision and effort,keep it coming

Great work! Do not let GM see those unless you have the copyright. Just my .02, but the Corvette is way too large (size and weight) as it is; the only way to go is better fuel efficiency = less hp = less weight (to keep same hp/wt ratio) = smaller car. Bigger is not always better, and $5/gallon gas is just around the corner.

I LOVE IT. but the window/fender junction is too low and steep of an angle for it to be aerodynamic.
