If I didn't just put a new gas tank into the car a few hours ago when it was empty and not severely messy like it would be now it wouldn't be so bad, but jeez....I'm hoping just the plug into the sender is loose and the monster pump is fueling the engine and the oem is a loose plug...I'll find that out tommorrow between passes with the snowblower
Nice work Steve......I had my doubts when I first saw your car in a kazillion pieces all over the place. Figured it would take you until the Spring to get it running.

The first pics of the production model (remember, all this time, we've been seeing the concept) have surfaced and you're right, it is kinda anti-climatic. Without those big 22 inch concept wheels, it just doesn't look as bad *** as the concept. Even worse, from the look of this pic, the rear brake duct scoops look like faux panels. Maybe this is the V6 model and the V8 gets real ones. I hope so. Its a shame they had to go the rustang route and put in faux air scoops, that just screams poser and just one of the many reasons I can't even look at those things.

Inappropriate language

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Forum’s software is set up to block certain words and terms we consider to be inappropriate for use on the site. Typically, the words and terms included are those that are crude, vulgar and/or involve racial epithets.

That does not mean the software will block all inappropriate words or phrases. Setting it up to do so would be an exercise in futility because we wouldn’t be able to identify everything that should be included or the exceptions when the term or phrase would be acceptable in a particular context.

Altering the spelling of words/terms to bypass the blocking feature of the software is in conflict with Forum rules. Moderators try to show some tolerance if the word/term is altered enough so as not to be blatant. As a guideline, moderators often will ignore an otherwise inappropriate word or term so long as at least two letters of the word/term have been omitted or changed to symbols.

They cannot ignore words/terms (even with altered spellings) that are used to convey hostility toward other Forum members.

It's also inappropriate, of course, to introduce inappropriate language to the Forum via images or links.

The judgment of moderators will be final in such issues because the moderators are charged with using their best judgment in maintaining a level of civility that ensures the Forum is a fun and friendly place for Corvette enthusiasts

Don't you know by now that anything detroit puts out as a concept will NEVER make it to the showroom close to the concept. Infact, I recall when you posted the pic. from the unveiling, I told you that production car will look nothing like that because they will cheap out.
