Everybody likes what they like. My answer isn't any better or more valid than anyone else's. But OMG... I'll give you the full MSRP right now and wait for however long it takes you to build that retro!

That look was always my favorite and those big wheel flares combined with a modern look make it perfect.

For the record I really like C3s when done right... but I want to see fresh take on Corvette. Not rehashed crap that's been done before just to get some nostalgia going i.e. Mustang.

You want a modern C3? Go build one... contact SR-III for a modern tubular chassis. Then add whichever LSX motor you want and C6 suspension and go. Don't make the rest of us suffer through retro crap.

Seriously, what's with the persecution complex combined with paranoia about me forcing something on the masses? Do you really think I have that much sway over the entire design and production teams at GM? Have you ever heard of the concept of a hypothetical? Does my individual highly subjective design preference between three theoretical, unreleased designs really threaten you that much? Does it require two separate uses of the word "crap?"'
Take two
each hour until your blood pressure returns to normal.And have a happy day!

I would take the wheels of the retro version and add those to the production C7.

When Ford introduced the retro Mustang, it was a very poor seller. Oh wait, actually it was very well received and they have been very popular. People speak with their pocketbook. I guess the buying public found the retro crap very appealing.
