And that "Chunckeyness" look seems to (have I mentioned the word subjectively) continue thought the rest of the car.

but dang is it an effective car.
Of course they are different but a quick glance, they are similar. I need a second look to determine what the heck it is parking on the side street as I drive by

Funny, my wife and one son and I were leaving lunch yesterday and my son says “is that a Lamborghini?”, my wife says She likes it, and I explain it’s the new Corvette, I show them the engine and we walk around it, we all agree it’s a nice looking car.

She says she wants one

They each look pretty good but both suffer with same fuel door wart. Way too many cars have the problem today (fuel tank placement is the issue of course). The doors to aft of the rear wheel housing should be a NFZ (no filler zone). The Ford Mustang team seems to get it. Camaro, not so much.

hadn't even noticed those fuel fillers, really not that noticeable if you ask me

but kinda surprised there's a fuel tank in the back on a midengined car at all? how does that make sense?
