We've received this image of an advance copy of the upcoming Road & Track issue, and guess what? It has an even better view of the 2014 Corvette's nefarious smile. "

It looks too much like the Viper. I was hoping for something more original.

It looks cool, but all these high-end sports cars have all started to look so similar recently...the 599, Viper, and this new Corvette all look exactly the same to me.
Very true, pretty shocked more people have not noticed this trend lately.

i agree. i remember the first time i saw renderings for the C7, i thought Ferrari FF nose?? still feel like that.. a bunch of these new hi profile "top dog of their brand" cars are on the same wavelength.. not very exciting..

Maybe this whole thing was just a test mule created to ruin Jalopnik’s credibility. Today they will reveal a fender-flared, dule-port tail-lamped, basket-handled beast that has been testing in the depths of the Amazon. Maybe? I do like this pic though, looking forward to seeing the rest of it .Looks mean

It looks too similar to other new super cars and not enough of a more unique, classic Corvette look.
