Anybody like the rearend? Wonder what it will look like with the brakes on? Good numbers. I like the Ray on the side.

Love it, too bad I'll have to wait 21 years until I can afford it like my '91.

Nice car! It will be another Corvette icon. Wait till they build off it with additional performance models and a Vert. They will kick the Euro and Asian exotics back to their homeland. American engineering at its best!

Looks just fine to me!
Would trade my LT4 in on one in a heartbeat if I could afford it.

That, or they change it up. Other than those lights, I like.

Too busy looking to me, too many creases, too many vents, those horrible taillights...and I wonder if that hood vent will blow hot air in your face when you go topless?
It just isn't for me.

I think that they missed the mark here. It would have been better if they would have stuck with the "concept" design that everyone was so excited about.

The rear end looks like an updated version of the Camaro which doesn't do anything for me. From the side it looks like a Dodge Viper that got rear ended.

I'm sure that it will be exciting to some just as the C5 and C6 were, but it isn't nearly enough to make me want to place an order for one.

I like it. I think I may even like it more once I see one in person. Looks like Chevy got many things right here. But I'll never own one because it'll be 20 years before I can afford it and I'll possibly be dead by then.

Overall I like it. Some things need to grow on me before I can say I love it. I'm not sure about the back end with all the black plastic and vents it is a little busy.

Ever since the Corvettte was born it has NEVER used body styling from any other car, it was 100% Corvette. This copying of the Camaro back end is something GM engineers should be shot for. How much trouble could it have been to design Corvette taillights instead of just copying.
