FVS I know you spent many hours and done great work which I think we all greatly appreciate!!

I hate to ask but could you possibly do a updated version of the HTC love to see your thoughts on the Spyder now that I think your so very close on the coupe.

Again thanks for making these long months of waiting more interesting buy doing all these renderings.

still very suspicious of the rear side quarter windows. They may end up being another air intake.

I am sure we will know soon enough
The Ferrari 458 did a great job of hiding the upper intake to look like a window only.

I think we’ll see a difference in headlight technology making them smaller.

The headlamp (tail lamp) size and shape are exactly as on the spy image. The outline can be seen clearly. This render is overlaid on the latest images. The actual lighting elements will no doubt be very advanced and modern.

I am sure the finishing will be much better and stunning!

What do you guys imagine the power specs on a smaller V8 with turbo will be? Torque suffer at low RPMs I imagine with higher peak HP?

Pull your head out of your butt and realize mid engine is a huge milestone for Corvette. You're probably one of those guys that hated c6 headlights and c7 taillights because it takes away the heritage huh? Well, guess what c1 had exposed headlights and didn't have quad round taillights till 61... did you also complain when they moved the transmission to the rear with c5? Cause you know that just ruined 44 years of front transmission heritage for the sake of performance. The mid engine will be a performance milestone especially considering front engine has pretty much reached a plateau. Stop beating a dead horse and enjoy corvette as the world class sports car that the everyday America can afford"
The C7 already beats many mid-engine cars on tracks and in acceleration tests (like the brand new 200K NSX). Will that continue when we go to a smaller engine?
