I'm in trouble with my wife "again" if Chazcron's depiction is close to being accurate. That is one suuweeeet vette!! Best I've seen to date. Thanks Chazcron....

Interesting. I've never heard of the Autoextremeist but after reading a few articles, not bad. He tends to ramble but then he'll say something interesting. I can't agree with all his conclusions but I appreciate that he doesn't sugar coat his opinions and gives a lot of reasons for why he reaches certain conclusions.

That latest car looks like it could be somewhat attractive if the proportions were correct. Example: the point of the front fascia on my GS is pretty much in line with my wheel center caps, whereas the point of fascia on your render is at or above the top of the wheel.

Shaka at least backs up his opinion or disagreement with pics/drawings to try to explain what he’s talking about. If you’re going to attempt to make fun of or discredit someone you might want to provide something to back up your position.

Chaz has posted several pictures of his model overlayed on a side photo of the car. The nose looks high because of the camera angle. When viewed from the side it's right where it should be.

Love your work and have enjoyed the thread. Two questions that I have not seen directly addressed. Forgive me if you have

1 on the side scoop why do you seemingly follow the hard side lines that I think most all agree are fake panels. 2. On the nose you have it drawn to a pretty aggressive point and I don’t really see that in the paint shop or Camo cars

again, very much enjoy your work

Let me reply to you as Shaka would.

You are an idiot and you know nothing. You know 4% of what I know.

Not a very nice feeling when someone talks to you like that is it?

Based on the image of the ME rear bumper cover on the paint-line, it appears that the rear diffuser on the ME may wrap up on the rear of the quarter panels, similar to the Lambo Huracan Evo.

I love what he is doing and think he is helping GM in some way. They probably have told him as long as he sticks to what has been revealed i.e. don't release the real bumper, inlet and spoiler they will keep feeding him some hints or details.to share with us.

My scoop rationale is covered extensively in this post here:

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1598593132

Grille here:

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1598696629

And here:

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1598700562

And while the grill looks fantastic unadorned, it’s unlikely to be so. So I put something there. We also have no idea how beautifully jeweled the headlights (and tail lights) will be, but would you be more satisfied if I just left them blank? I don’t think so. I’ve always known my renders (in hindsight) will look pretty off the mark when the real ones are revealed, but they still look better with something there rather than nothing.

Hey @chazcron I noticed a detail and I’m wondering if you noticed it as well and what you think it could be.

I believe it’s been discussed, but it looks like some sort of aero/inlet on the bonnet. Curious to hear your thoughts.

Ha, they dont do that. Lol, who knows, those leaked CAD drawing could be fake for all we know!

Does seem as I'd they would have some sort of vent at the front end to exit air. If its behind the front wheels, top of fenders or the hood I have no idea and what we have seen so far doesn't indicate it.

Hello, chazcron,

First I'd like to say that I really appreciate and admire all of the rendering work you've produced. In my opinion the work is excellent and your continued refinement is as impressive as it is entertaining. However there are two nagging details that I possibly have all wrong, and they both revolve around the rear bumper-cover image from the paint-line, as follows:

1) It really appears that from a side-view of the car that the rear bumper-cover will not be the lowest element seen. Please reference the my Lambo image from post #1370 (above). To me, the rear bumper-cover appears to terminate across its entire width, just somewhere below the rear license plate area.

2) Please forgive my repeated mentioning of this one, however it appears to me that the two rear facing vents on the rear bumper-cover finish with a radius on their outermost vertical edges. Therefore from the same "side-view," I believe an observer would see the outer most vertical edge of these vents.





When you have some time, I'd really appreciate if you'd give both of these points some further analysis, then reply back with your thoughts.

Thanks again!

Zoom in on the bottom part of this image. you can see there is a second rear fairing not seen on the "paint shop" image. I have known about this seam, but don't include it for aesthetic reasons. There are two parking sensors located there which I also don't include for the same reason. the other two are at the outside bottom of the two rear vents. whose innermost vents are partly visible from the sides, but certainly not their outer edge, just like the C7 image you have posted yourself.

He hasn't a clue. It is an outlet for the radiator for the high HP car.
