Interesting... I sure hope the new vette doesn't look like that though. ******* ugly.

Can't say I love it as much as the C6 look, but at least it isn't the 2011 Concept look-a-like

I love the look of that thing. If that is what they will look like, thank god, cause that concept car was hideous. Maybe it would be ok for Batman

It's just an artists rendering. No one has spy shots of a production model yet. The only facts in the story are probably about the motor.

I think it looks awesome, very exotic and race-car like, much like a Ferrari?

440 hp from a 5.5L is pretty nice. Must have amazing heads & higher compression than the LS3

not sure i believe the hp numbers..ive seen reports of the next gen camaro getting 440hp to start off (lsxtv). On the looks, it looks like a corvette had a 3 way with a ferrari and a porsche (front led lights). ugly. but i give it no credit.

At first I was concerned about the content, but I saw it was from Motortrend... an unbiased and accurate source.
