I was thinking it looked like a 'Vette when I saw the pic then I read it was based off a C5 chassis design.

Pretty cool except for the exposed headlights. They have got to go.

Sadly, as long as Putz is around, I fear we may not see the baddest of all the pony cars return.

And on top of it, if you ****** read the captions on the page instead of just being like a kid and looking at the pictures, you would have seen that he wanted to "see what a Corvette would look like if it was made by Pontiac."

A new Camaro/Firebird based off the new C6 platform would be absolutely awesome (even though GM would probably never dream of doing anything like that for fear of cutting into Vette sales). Very good design IMO, with some throw back to the third gen in there it looks like to me. I like it and I'd gladly drive one of those bad boys powered by an LS2.
