really??? Who really gives a rat’s *** what the coefficient of drag is for this vehicle unless you’re racing at LeMans? If you read this forum, and while your at it check out the poll in the General Discussion thread about this vehicle being a classic design, you will see an overwhelming majority of forum members really like/love the design of the C7. So you have old Tony come along in this forum as a noobie member and the very first post he makes he slams the vehicle. And you say he’s not a troll.
BTW, if you are so convinced he is a troll, you should have ignored him. Works great on trolls everywhere.

Overwhelming majority of forum members really like/love the design of the C7? That is up for wide debate, a poll is only going to show the opinions of active voting members. There are thousands of members who never visit the site. Also, each generation tends to bring with it a certain enthusiasm and youth, both of which tend to drive polls. So love or hate the C7, you can't prove that a majority of forum members feel either way unless you get virtually all the forum members to vote/give their opinion.
And slamming a vehicle isn't a trolling unless it is meant to elicit an angry response. It could have just been tactless and inconsiderate.

Thanks Firstvettesoon!!! Great work Dude
Oh well, I didn't know that the image of the spy car was a composite. I thought it was an actual picture that someone provided. Pardon my input. I appreciate all your amazing effort to predict our next C8 ME. You are creating some very cool pics for us to attempt to gain a proper perspective. You are very good at what you are doing.
I give you a Q+ if you are indeed an Eagle driver,
I'm a Viper guy.
I am liking the renditions that have more curves verses angles. I like the C7 but think that the C7 would look better if it had some C5 curves in it. When you look at a 488, the curves is what drawls you to the car. Hopefully the C8 ME will do the same as the 488.
Please keep pushing on your C8 renditions. We are very interested in my family.

Maybe not for mirrors, but a '15 Accord has a button that continuously allows a right-side mirror cam to show the entire "look-back" for right lane +half another lane on right. Cam shot is in center-dash nav space approx 8" diagonally. So, if right side is already slightly lower than line-of-sight by being just under dash lip, rear view in-dash, above-dash, or even in-mirror may not be far away. IMO, of course.

Thanks for the kind words. Just trying to get a hint of what it will look like. I hope we get some more real info soon so we can get a little closer...or else it's gonna be a long year!
Not an Eagle driver but admire all you guys that fly.... wouldn't mind a ride !
I agree with you about the lines and curves. Hopefully they are able to create a really nice body form with exciting shapes that "fit" and make sense.
Fingers crossed.

While everyone has an opinion about what the next Vette should look like, I would just like to add that I am so very grateful that nobody on this forum is responsible for designing the next Corvette.
That is all, carry on.
That is all, carry on.

Could some of the things that people are speculating on maybe fake just to throw people off?
Let's get back to tradition and get rid of those camaro tail lights!

Hello everyone.
I usually just browse around websites until right now. Some people may get offended by what I write so I will apologize ahead of time. Here goes .... I have owned Corvettes and still own one. I have seen them built and visited the museum. I like or love most of them, but when the C6 came along it had to grow on me. I like the car and can appreciate what the design team was trying to do. Now along comes the C7 and a possible C8 design or prototype. I can't stand these cars. The designer should be fired. What a screw up. The C7 looks like they took Camaro taillights and stuck them in the rear and the front has a huge mouth in the front and the list goes on and on. Lets not forget the cheap look of the steering wheel. The C5 looked a hell of a lot better than this crap. I bet the C5 has the lowest coefficient of air drag of any production Corvette built so far. What happened to the details of car building when things like this mattered??? Anyway, the Corvette is changing and it won't be long before it will not look like a Corvette anymore. My opinion that's all ............
