Looks huge. I do like that color though.

Unfortunately, they missed the mark on the exterior styling.

Still a very compelling value. As Corvettes have always been.

Maybe next generation will just be straight-up beautiful on its own merit... regardless of the price. Here's hoping.

There's way to much going on at the *** end of that car. Looks like a damn Camaro to me.

The rear of the car looks like a Camaro to me.

Yeah, that was kind of the idea . . . to re-invent the Corvette.

Well that was fast. Reveal last night. Next morning, already sighted in the wild. I would have assumed they were back ordered.

I wonder what this person paid for it?

Once again, Chevrolet throws a Kardashian butt on the back of what otherwise might be a decent design.

Not likely a customer car. Has manufacturer tags. They probably were just given the ok to pull off all the camo.

no heritage? Zora was trying to get mid engine done since 1960.. Its more Herritage than any retro styling that was carried over to other cars.

Smithers has it right. Looks like the corner of General Motors Road and Milford Road, so about two miles from the main entrance to the Proving Ground. I may have to run out to the sushi joint at the corner for lunch and see if I can spot any other non-camo cars!

I saw one in camo yesterday near Huntington, IN. I assume it had been to the panel body panel manufacturer there. I figured it would be the last in C8 camo prototype I would see.
