Don't know how legit this is, but I heard through the grapevine that GM execs forced one of the major ZO6 boards to remove this pic.

That being said, here we go......

Reminds me of the 3000GT in the front a bit, looks nice.

Eh, I guess it's okay. Did you know Corvettes were until this model, were the last cars produced with pop-up headlights?

a bit like the 550 from the front, esp w/ the air scoop, the back of the cockpit still looks "cut-off". It just ends so suddenly, why not give it a nice smooth transition to the back? A fast-back look like 240Z....

LOL
I passed on the one I was considering. Looked into the guy and found him on one of the Z boards. It looked like he couldn't do any of his own maintenance, adjustment of the throttle linkage... nothing. There was even a post by him offering someone $ to install sway bars. Not the PO I'd like to deal with...

Still browsing though. That car was in CA and I'm on the East coast. Hopefully I'll see something that I can drive up and check out.

I think that car looks great. I can't say enough of how GM is trying to make an affordable supercar. And if this car is produced with the rumoured performace talked about, I would really consider a change.

Me too; not a fan of the styling of the last 2 series but this one is starting to get me interested.
