I like it, it may not be everyones cup of tea but I could see myself driving it. But then again I dont have a problem with Green Viper ACR's and big wings going back and forth to work either.

If it weren't for those HUGE emblems and the under hood cartoon I would have given it a thumbs up, but with those it gets the RICE vote from me.

Rice. All they needed to do was copy the actual race cars paint scheme.

I am shocked to see that 21% thinks it looks great, with 11% undecided. Let's say 1 in 4 like it, that is surprising to me.

To me, the car is a spin on the Fast and the Furious. I have seen imports painted this exact same way. Yes, the wing is race inspired, but it is too gaudy for the street.

I guess 1 out of every 4 Corvette people have a little Fast and Furious in them. That fad has made a huge impact in the car scene, that is for sure. Hopefully GM doesn't start incorporating it into the C7.

That should draw some attention. Loose the huge vette flags and it's no more outrageous than an ACR.

no one mentioned the huge wing??? if it's a c6-r straight racecar, ok, but street? that's a slap in the face to the design team of the c6 zo6/zr1. straight rice. that's like giving the mona lisa bright red lip stick, a huge perm, and gucci sunglasses :p might as well put a fart can on it while you're at it.

I think rice is a moniker that may apply here, but! A z06 is a real performance car, and really cannot be riced! It looks a little "cheap add-on" but not rice. Rice means nothing but Checker auto parts add-ons, no performance gain. But yes, it is ugly!

I wouldn't call it 'rice' but agree with the rest - without the huge C6 emblems front/back it's actually OK in my book. Those other decals/lettering on the rear just look stupid, all that including the big emblems really cheapens the look tremendously IMO.
