Wot, no credit to FVS for the use of his image?

More like recycled content.

I stopped reading after this ridiculous first sentence:
"Until last week, if the rumors and spy photos were to be believed, GM was busy building their own version of the Ford GT, getting ready to slap a Corvette badge on it and on send it out into the world."

Brian Daily is another Journalist student/wannabe seeking relevancy. I'm so tired of all these "writers" repeating others' stories... but adding editorial dribble to make it their own.

This is why responsible content curation (just like citing reliable sources) is a valuable skill that many fail to demonstrate.

Thanks, ; ) but that’s not mine. It’s the C&D version.

Yes, that's the image to which I was referring in the linked "article".

FVS automatically owns the copyright to his images and should immediately issue a "cease and desist" to the publisher and "writer" of that piece.

Why do I click on “Curated Content Editor” threads? Becuase I hope the next one will have some good information to learn. However, the last batch have been not, being charitable here, less than valuable.

Note to self: Do not click on threads written by Curated Content Editor!

Ohhhh. Thanks.... I didn't click!

No harm. We are just guessing at the real car after all.

I really hope we get something new soon....

I see the lost stumbling into each other in the dark trying to put each other down to get a spot (in the dark)

No need to push down any one to make yourself a credit.

I do welcome every corvette enthusiast bringing in any info (into light)

Agreed, but these posts are what people see when they google Corvette and click on the forum. It's design to entice them into the forum and hopefully sign up. All of the "info" there is just what we've all been saying in here.

Great thread. The Corvette Forum Eds are now speculating on magazine speculation.
I guess that means we've entered the world of (gasp) Speculation Squared

Electric lithium.ion battery’s to spool up turbos on rear wheel drive corvettes for zero turbo lag more likely...than awd since we are speculating nonsense..

Battery sizing could be much less and much smaller and lighter.

Always fun To speculate a new generation as it evolves.
