Me too, right to the dearest Ford Dealership.
Why even bother with an electric hood? Shouldn't the goal be weight conservation? Not adding another energy waster.

Honestly its not something I would be interested in. My C4 is about as new as I want and its pushing it. If I had the money I would have a BB C3 with C5 suspension.IP: Logged |

Hmm, well the styling is pretty futuristic, not really something I yearn for. I would hope it runs like a scalded dog and handles like it's on rails but, that information isn't posted. What's the price on that toy? Not that I could afford it but, if I could, it wouldn't be on top of my list of cars I just had to have.

Because I wouldn't own anything put out by GM after 2009.
It's a Union/Government/screwing the shareholders thing  .

I agree 
BUT you know "Corvette guys"...
- HASTA be front-engined, rear wheel drive
- HASTA have styling cues to "Corvette history"
... there's more "hasta's" I can't think of right now...

I have a 66 stingray with C6 styled front suspension (still restoring it though). I see nothing that says stingray in it (except the split rear window that they did away with for a good reason after the 63 models.)[This message has been edited by IFLYR22 (edited 02-08-2010).] IP: Logged |

I like it!! Not saying I love it.. There is many things that really stands out to me. I love the exhaust. As Far as I can tell Its a (Concept) car. So I'm thinking what we get may not even look like this.
I like the over all shape of the car.

Car Show? Meh, don't like it, besides I see interesting stuff rusting by the side of the road every day here. Take these for example:
Just rotting in a parking lot by the side of the road. BTW, I couldn't fit in either one, a little tight for me.... well no one was looking, you would have tried too  I almost got to sit in the same seat as Michael Schumacher and Tony Kanaan IP: Logged |

That's my take on it too. It's mainly a movie car so the body lines are really extreme, but like you.. I do like the exhaust, the roof, the doors, and the mirrors, but everything else I'm not liking. The Cien would've been a better choice. Actually, there's a better designed Corvette on the market. I need to find the link.IP: Logged |

How about "HAS-TA have a pushrod V8?" Because we all know overhead cams are for ricers, right?  [This message has been edited by Blacktree (edited 02-08-2010).] IP: Logged |
