The scoop looks so much better now that you've put your touch on it.
If these can be had for 70,000.00 or less and this is anywhere near close to final look, I'll be buying my first new Vette!

It'll actually be two years from this month. Gotta pay off my 08 Vette in January , help my wife pay off her little Zoomy and I have child support until May of 2020. I haven't bought a brand new car since my 99 Z28.

If it has 500+ hp and a 2LT Z51 runs less than $80K and looks like that, it'll be in my garage and my C7 m7 Grand Sport will be in somebody else's garage. I even like those wheels.

Blue render is the ****.

OP, sorry, but several things wrong with your render. Scoop is a hot mess. And those nissan juke headlights need to be thrown into the fire.

Just subjective opinion, but the basic problem with these renders, and this one specifically, is that they are too fat and bulbous. it makes sense because y'all are trying to be true to the camo versions we are seeing. The thing is, with camo versions they can add padding, but it's hard to take it off. They can smooth the edging, but they don't want to show you the harder lines which would give away too much. So you are effectively exaggerating the camo effects they have put on to intentionally mislead you. I'm thinking the final version will be a lot leaner and meaner with crisper lines, especially from the side. I'd like to see some renders that took that approach. Not me because I am no artiste.

Good points. Additionally, the 'Ring C8s are fattened with a fish eye lens distortion.

ms, I have seen so many of these well executed renders by super talented guys that I am starting to believe that we are doomed. I hope that you are completely accurate but so far I am just so disappointed 😪

FVS's renders do that nicely. But brace yourself. The corpulence is likely baked into the design.

A two seater car doesn’t need to be as big as an Aventador but then again a Miata is not sexy enough.

The problem with the Miata is that I can't get into it. I have to put it on.

That's what I'm afraid of. A lot of sources are resonating to the accuracy of the FVS renders or at least not discounting that he is close. As good as he is, I hope he's wrong because I'm just not loving it. I do love the Car Scoops renders.

FWIW, I don't think the car is going to have the rear spoiler we're seeing on the Nürburgring cars. After everyone paid SO much attention to the CAD leaks, they ignored the active rear spoiler....
