No we are not, but I can see a market for this car based on what Porsche has done.

Many people don't know this, but back when the C5 was in the initial design stages, models like this were under consideration.


Chris - Will this be packaged with a motor package only or can someone just get the body package?

Dave, it can be configured wither with our SuperCharged Engine Package, or as a stand-alone option.

Interesting history on the C5 ideas

Didn't you guys have a C5 based shooting break (brake?) at the Woodward Dream Cruise?
Or was that some other tuner...?

What TV car show was it on that they said, when they first came out, something like, "There is fast, very fast, REALLY VERY FAST and (blank you) fast! This car is (blank you) fast ?"

I have seen some other concepts like this and I think that there is a market for this IF it were to include additional seating. Making this a 4 passenger vehicle is the most logical selling point, as I don't think that the additional space or controversial styling would really bring the buyers.

For me, having a Corvette option with 4 seats would justify getting one as I have a 3 year old and a wife that isn't too keen on me buying a toy that only I can enjoy!!

A 4 seat corvette would need a longer wheel base, not just a new roof.

I know I sure wouldn't, given some of the rude and downright shameful posts of the past year.

This is just my opinion. Please respect it.

Down right secksy!

Well, different strokes for different folks and all,
but I think both this one and the Callaway are hideous!
Like a drop dead gorgeous supermodel who is wearing a thong
and nine months pregnant!

Hey, more power to em if they make a dollar on it, but it's literally pointless.

It adds more storage space height wise, since the roofline slopes down less. So now you can stack things higher, and block your rear visability completely.

Great for Callaway if this sells, doesn't bother me. I'd just like an explanation as to what's the purpose?

I like the rear fenders, but I wouldn't be a buyer
