Firstvettesoon ... I for one (and I suspect there are many) really appreciate all the work you have put into your renderings. I doubt the car will look exactly like any of them, but the speculation is fun and you have way more talent than I (or, most probably, any of your detractors). So please keep up the cool work ... don't get embroiled with the haters ... thanks again!

He didn't hurt my feelings. I "asked" him to use them to get a better idea of what the real car looks like. You can't make things better without understanding what works and what doesn't.

Watch him violate this declaration. He can't help himself. It's his ego, you know?

More than anything I am only trying to pin down details of what is where.
I'm sure we will all be astonished when we see the ME for the first time.

I appreciate your efforts in trying to guess the design based on what has been photographed and posted, so keep at it. I like quite a few of your renders.

Don't even waste your time responding to him. He comes across as a bitter old man just like your avatar. His doodles are 4th grade art at best.

With C7pimp and ZERVs help, maybe we can get a little closer before next January... Otherwise it will be a long wait!
Another Q for C7pimp...
Was this guy right? not rear but Front fenders?

I appreciate all your hard work and keep it up. It's fun to have someone with your skill set give us your ideas of what might be under all that Camo.
I don't think anyone of us who is rational expect that your hitting the design dead on. But at least your putting some different and we'll done rendering out there for us all to discuss.
One thing I am sure we all can agree on with the exception of Mr DH is that the C8 with be stunning and GM will have a Hugh hit on their hands.
my only wish is that they break from traditional and give us a HI PO version and not just the base when it's released in 2019.
I am hopeful of this just because it make no sense if GM will continue to sell the C7 Z06 & Zr1 that the latest greatest Corvette will be on sale with 2 older models that out perform it.
A guy can only hope!!

Glad you are done repeating erroneous information, though if you wish, here is a thread where you can do so.

Ignore Shaka the guy is a DH plan and simple. Runs his mouth about things he is dead wrong about yet claims to be an expert on each and every thread he post too.

I agree, and thanks for the kind words.
What is everyone thinking on the power/performance of the first ME? I cant imagine that the first offering would be SO anemic that they would get underwhelming reviews. That would be brand suicide for sure. I would think that the first car needs to be something of a giant killer to really drive the message home.

Corvette badge is on the nose just like always, FYI...
I think it is really great that he recognizes the ME as a Corvette. This is key.

Thanks firstvettesoon! I too am part of the vast majority of this forum who greatly appreciates all that you have added to our understandings of the ME, especially thankful for your skilled renderings.

And for the record, I'm on record that the mid-engine sports car will not be badged as a Corvette.
Same here.

My latest take on what the C8 hides under the camo! Some have been trying to force feed the idea that the roof will follow the C7 type quarter glass windows. Thankfully the O.P. has put that notion to rest! The upswing aft of the doors is seen on almost every mule if you look carefully. You can see the cut lines of it, that are trying to be hidden by the crazzy wrap. Laferarri type side scoops were seen way back in '15 on this early C8 render that I modified.

Say fellahs, take a look at your hero's post above. C7pimp says he has missed the mark. What do you think? Don't be fooled by the bling. He is looking at the same information that you and I are and comes up with this. He has two outlets on top of the hood but there are no radiators in front of them. I traced these sketches directly off the spy shots when they became available. ACS incorporates what I have on my sketches. I modified this render a little to comport with what I see.

Come on Pimp, you are so out in left field with this post that it's almost irresponsible and reckless.
From what I've read on this forum for the past three years by the real experts - the Hawaiian shirt, white socks and sandals crowd - here's what one can truly surmise:
- there will never be an ME Corvette;
- any ME car will be a Cadillac;
- the Corvette is front engine ME already; no need to change;
- no one can afford an ME $120K Corvette; hell, no one can afford any $120K Corvette;
- if chrome wheels aren't offered, it's DOA;
- if no manual transmission; it's DOA;
- an ME Corvette will so drastically part with tradition, it will kill the brand.
- nobody wants an ME Corvette.
