Nice. I like it. Looks like a Vette and a shark. Good work.

By far the best front end render so far! Great job Firstvettesoon!

That said, I still think the front still looks a little too C7ish and after the A pillars it does not look cohesive.

Of course what we all say at this point is a moot point cuz GM has already designed the car! I just hope they concentrated as much on the rear end as much as the front because IMO that's always been a Corvette design weakness.

Default Nice!

Wow!!! Great job on the mid-engine vette. Hopefully they hire you at GM because that's how the C8 should look. Awesome work... love it!!!!!

Not always, but for a long time. I think the C2 and C3's were very sexy but after that I agree it's definitely the number 1 weakness of the design. I'd say the C6 widebody has a sexy *** though but I'm biased lol.

I agree. Marvelous bit of sculpturing.

Without question GM engineers and marketing people are watching this forum...

His interpretations are awesome...very very well done...

Thanks... would love to be involved in such a project... even just a little bit.

We are only guessing at what they already did. I suspect there is so much more. !

But it's not to make an offer to 'hire' him.. it's to make him another kind of offer.

The reason why FVS has not responded in a couple of hours, is that he right now is packing his bags to go to the Warren design center — reporting to work at 0600 Monday morning.

...is that it's hard to post stuff, when a couple of anonymous Detroit goons are breaking things in your house...

For me, I'd incl. the C4 second half ('91/2-'96). The rear always needs attention including this go-round.

Can you explain in a little more detail? It doesn't sound good!
