Corvette prototype for Grand Am
 
Chevrolet Corvette Daytona Prototype - SPEED.com Galleries


Saw this article today what do you think ?

They did a nice job of putting some character into what are basically ugly cars. The DPs I mean, not Corvettes.

Looks a hellava lot nicer that the other DP prototypes!
The roof line is much more refined.

Pretty interesting looking car, I hope it does good.

Seems a shame to see anyone doing anything to help GrandAm along. The sooner that this contrived, France-family/Nascar attempt at quasi roadracing dries up and leaves the field open to ALMS, the better (though I'm sure that's not going to happen anytime soon). I just hope this attempt doesn't damage Corvette's ALMS budget. It's not like they have unlimited money for racing, or for anything else.

Don't agree with that. But then I'm one who like racing...period. The race may be road course, straight, oval of pavement, oval of dirt, whatever....I LIKE it!

Yes they have.

Would make an interesting production car, as in a future mid-engined Vette.

Wow, looks remarkably corvette-like which is unusual and surprising.

Certainly better looking than other cars in that class...

That is really hard not to like

+1, or at least since the last time I looked at the DPs (quite some time ago).

Looks like a Saleen S7 that has had a light make over.

I like it, and I happen to like watching the Grand Am racing. It's RACING!
