THIS CAR IS FRIGGIN AWESOME LOOKING!!! I can understand some of the purist saying no, but i truly love the look, to me it is very aggressive, and for one, I am first in line. I love it. Just my 2 cents though and everyone is entitled to their opinion even Kurt, Kent, Klurnt, and Padre, Paul, Pete

Bryan, Byron, Brian, Brain,.... me thinks you been breathin' too much of the race gas. I'm no purist, but that thing is a cartoon, maybe a slot car at best.

Looks like the entire front clip is one piece. Like the mirrors, too. Gotta get used to the corners though...(looks like a "lift" issue in the front...)

Ok... I will tune in... I think that Sting Ray is Fraken Awesome also!!.. after the Beautiful C3, the formless C4 wedge came out... then they added in a few more lines in the C5... better (have one also, C3&5) Then the C6... still... a little better.... now this new Sting Ray C7.... now it has lines.... like a C3 has lines... again... Fraken Awesome...when the C7 comes out... good by C5!!.....not that yellow redone C5/6 above
