Thanks for the comments Zerv!

Release of information, once someone gets a telephoto lens of the inside exposed, even slightly, I guess I’ll be good to post since I (or someone else) won’t take the initial hit. I could post it, it can spread wildly and nothing will happen, or vice versa, and I could find myself in a very unfavorable position

Yep, getting closer, more silver around the controls that are sloping though, it’s not entirely black like that, only the buttons feature the black glass paneling, the surround (casing) is also that silver aluminum finish.

The last render looks nice enough, except for the large area underneath the display, where the start button is located. There is a lot of empty space there, unless there is a storage compartment there. Say, about the size of a Glock 19....

This doesn't help with images, but how about a reference for the what is similar. Meaning, is there an interior of a car that you feel is 90% the 'feel' of the C8?

Similarly, is there a headlight design that you feel is very close?

Lastly, I would love it if you could put to rest the side vent controversy. Some feel that the 7 shaped angle is the final design and others are campaigning for a more backward C shape, ie more rounded. Verdict?

Regarding your first question, no, not really. Its a mix between allot of cars, I've never seen the whole button thing before on any vehicle, the driver dash and steering is very similar to the ford GT, maybe some hints of the Mercedes AMG GT..... its all over the place, very exotic which is rare with corvette,


Headlights that are somewhat close

The Ferrari portifino

Zerv...you're on the inside man...crazy stuff. I don't know if your comments are good or bad for the Corvette community. I suppose it generates some excitement and at the same time people think you're a troll, so overall no damage to GM...and many positive aspects by keeping excitement alive. I'm sure a firing would be in order though...so I just have to ask...why are you doing this? What's the real motivation?

Now that is a very good question. If he is on the inside, it's a firing offense. If he's not inside, then he's at least burning his sources if he has any.

Ok, I'll bite. What do the scoops look like? Are they swept forward \ swept backward / or are they the pacman style of the C8.R? Do they have trim on them or are they folded sheetmetal edges? Can you see the heat exchangers inside the scoops?

I love the portifino and believe the 7 th gen camaro should follow that cars styling.

i hope the c8 has similiar headlights. Very attractive.
