I applaud them for the effort. However, I think it should have been a different car altogether, a Halo car "Stingray"and would have left the Corvette to continue. the opportunity to go upmarket and make it exclusive.
The styling looks like they took all the good from the new NSX, the Ferraris, added a bit of the other supercars put it all in a blender and puked it out. Then tagged on a Camaro back on it and bingo, we have the car.
It has some nice angles and some angles that are hideous (IMHO). The dual trunks is a very cool feature missed on the aforementioned vehicles.
The interior finally starts to look different from that on my Chevy truck!
On the positive side, its relatively cheap (starting as I'm sure by the time you opt for the performance packages you will be > $100K) and it provides plenty for the "tuners" to come up with new nose and tail treatment to make it a good looking car.
Then the next problem will be there will be one on each corner with only the connoisseurs being able to tell the highly optioned one from the base model ((like the 911s of late).
The important question, would I buy one? Don't think so, would I like to test one, Yes Please! The only way I would get one would be after securing a body kit for it.
ZA Duntov must be smiling somewhere knowing that they finally went mid Engine.
