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.

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.

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...

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!
