It's the yellow one that looks like a Lamborghini?? I don't think it's hideous, but it's not a Corvette anymore if that makes any sense.

whatever they do, please do not make it mid engine. they have a front engine car now with a perfect 50/50 weight distribution.

I like it, but not sure I would call it a Corvette. Really, once they take the engine out of the front and stick it into the back it isn't a Vette anymore. They need a new name...I don't think Chevy has any heritage cars they can take a name from though. So they might as well design their own super car from scratch (including the name). That way other exotic car owners also just can't call it another poor man's vette.

I like it. mid engine cars ahve a better weight distribution and they also *normally* have less traction issues being more weight over the rear wheels

Like the front - not the back. I agree that A GM supercar should not carry the Vette name.

I like those pics but I think all you guys will change once it hits the streets IF that is what its goin to be. I remember before the C6's came out everyone was talkin crap about them and that they will stick with C5's but now its the other way around everyone likes the C6's and a C5 is "just a C5"
