My Pics of the concept Corvette at the NCM
I didn't know where to put these, but since I'm always hanging out here, I thought I'd try here first. This is how I saw it, not typical of the views I've already seen posted elsewhere. Enjoy...
This is straight off the camera, no effects.....
I love the emblem and whatever that red spring is, oh and I believe it says hybrid there....

I think you meant Carbon Fiber, and yes it does appear to have quite a bit of it in the interior. Of course that could just be some stick-ons form Ecklers

No, he meant the Hydro Carbon. (Fake Carbon Fiber, or Carbon Fiber look). There are vendors on the forum that sell it.

I'm sorry, but I don't see how that thing ever left the drawing board. Purely hideous. This retro crap the big 3 have done is beyond lame. Keep moving forward with technology and aerodynamics and let the past stay there.

What do you guys think about GM putting hybrid technology in Corvettes?
As many of us know, electric vehicles can certainly out do production gasoline engines in performance. Even Lamborghini and Ferrari are racing for hybrid electric sports cars. But would you guys feel wronged if GM decided to pull the V8 out of the Corvette and replace it with an electric motor and a 3cyl electric generator?
Personally, as I like to see the push for new technology, I'd be interested in seeing a hybrid electric Corvette. Extremely efficient, very fast, and amazingly refined...
What do you guys think?

Tough call on the hybrid technology. As long as Corvette stays in the American LeMans series, then I have no doubt the Corvette will continue on the path that it has. If it works in racing, then it'll sell. If they depart racing and chase what some corporate bean counters thinks they should build to sell more then it'll be an epic failure.
