Outstanding. Looks very nice, indeed.
Since presumably the front engined cars will stay in production, I hope GM makes a version of this mid-engine car that is a no-holds barred track car. If it costs 175K, so be it. Make 100 of them each year. GM needs a regular production US super car--one that will never win a comparo just because it is good for the money, but is just plain good, without excuse, especially since Ford is making this new GT....

If GM only made 100 cars it would be such a financial loss it wouldn't even be worth it. GM has stockholders they also have to satisfy.

Problems with drawings is that they can never be quite realized in their production form... regulations usually end up killing a lot of stylization... so the bright silver one, although it looks most interesting.. could never make it to production....

The motor trend version was my pick. It is more fitting from a visual perspective. With cool designs from the Ford GT, the McLerans, Lamborghini, GM will have to push the visual design of the mid engine Vette because conservative design will not cut it in that tough market segment.
I was at a cars and coffee where a lot of high end exotics come out. The Porsche was the featured marque and many of them showed up along with a 918 hybrid. Many were looking at the 918 and ignoring the Ferarri and Lambos much to the chagrin of the owners who usually enjoyed the attention. Some owner caught me looking at his yellow C7 C7 and asked me if I liked it because it was his car. Anyhow in drives a McCleren P1 and everyone went to look at the P1 which was probably the star of the show, even the 918 was somewhat abandoned.
I hope GM is not conservative with the design of THE MID ENGINE Car, be it a Vette or Caddy

I wanted to see how long it took the self appointed non-STUPID and non-DUMB to figure it out. Amazing what *******s people can be behind the anonymity of the internet.
