Your red latest rendering FVS is one beautiful car! I need that one.

Thank you very much for your continued wonderful, artistic, and probably most important, accurate work.

My name would stay in the hat for that one. The frontal renders the Corvette insignia a bit large however.

I have never been doubtful about the merit of a mid engine Corvette. A mid engine, American made vehicle gets my motor running.

We are working on a front angled view based of the C/D render with the correct headlights and lines on the hood, as well proper hood height. That C/D render hood height was an abomination


Already sent FVS the line drawing corrections for some of it. We are going to work in phases until those elements are correct, then over to the next thing until each view is as close as we can.

Each render we put out from here is going to be as accurate as we can get them. FVS renders up to this point have all been pretty close but working off the C/D render gives us proper reflections of the body panels which makes a world of difference in realism.

Major Props to you and FVS!!

You two (along with all the "in the wild" images/videos) are really making "The Wait for The 8" so much more exciting and fun!

Keep it up!!!

This is hands down my favorite version.

I REALLY like the Car & Driver version, but it lacks any “corvette” personality, and could easily be mistaken for a Ferrari...which I am not convinced is a bad thing (maybe the blokes on Top Gear will finally give it a thumbs up).

This “gray” version has the Corvette “X” factor and has evolved the Corvette personality nicely. I expect we will land somewhere in between. Pumped.

Who would have thought that the bloated and too tall C&D render would be a piece of the puzzle towards a more accurate render? Great progress, fvs. Can't wait to see your work with c7pimp.

The stubbified, toad-like, C&D rendering has been debunked enough that I too am approaching "Pumped."

How GM could be hiding key components of the C8 because that hood scoop and front bumper looks awfully odd per my opinion

" Camaro"....... A made up word. Has no meaning..... Just created for the car.

The 2019 Camaro....... disguise it???? Heck... It doesn't look like a Camaro anymore. IMO..

INTERESTING. So it’s possible the C8 spy shots could have extra paneling such as the hood scoop or longer rear extension (as some people have worried it looks too long)
