THE REAL MR ED

think it would be more like a 'stingray' if it had split windows?

I love this look. Delete the rear quarter windows Mr. General and we will all order our new "z06"s nxt year.

Thx.

It would be more like a 1963 Sting Ray, not a Stingray. The other Sting Rays did not have a split window and none of the Stingrays had a split window.

I don't see that happening.

Ain't happening.

Man, you just gotta love some of the "O please GM" messages that are showing up here. I mean, split windows? Seriously?

I gotta cheap solution...just get the Blade Silver C7 (or C6 for that matter) and stick a strip of classic silver duct tape down the center of the back window. Easy peasy!

no way, with safety regulations how they are these days..

Seriously…? That looks hideous…!

That would be the biggest mistake GM could make on this car. They would lose most of their "young buyers", including me.

Split window? Seriously?

I disagree. Audi is using rear cameras and a video screen to replace the rearview mirror on one of their cars. No reason they couldn't do this with a split window Vette.

Only one year, of many, Sting Rays and Stingrays had the split window. So did my sister's first car:

BWF07

If the split window as a big hit and was not a vision issue it would have lasted more then a year.Zora hated it from when it was first conceived.
With the shape of the rear window on the C7, it would work at all.

I certainly hope they would not make that mistake again, there is a reason it was only on one years car. I owned a brand new 63 split window that I bought on a whim and the visibility was horrible. Hated the car and traded it 6 months later for a 64 convert.

OK, here is the plan. GM should just (for one year) rebuild the entire 1963 splitwindow model with a new LT1 engine, aluminum frame and the same, exact body from '63 WITH the splitwindow but with a camera. Sell them for $120k MINIMUM to satisfy the 20-50 guys who would buy them, see how many sell and move forward from there.

Now, how's he gonna wax that center section...that's the question...that's a tough reach

Retape! Easy peasy!

The wrap around back window looked cool in the 60's, but I didn't even like it on the 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's. It's getting tired. Time to move on, which, fortunately, they did on the C7.

I'm gonna insert this picture right here at this stage of the proceedings:

It is a devious plot by ****, the Associated Regulatory Scaffolding Endeavor, to increase sales across the nation…

alanhang

seriously? that looks truly awful on this car. All wrong.

NO one liked the split window the first time out but maybe
with two camera's in the back (each side) ...it might work.
