Interesting design. The front, side, almost every angle looks great...until you get to the back. It has some kind of 1970's defective rear tub going on. Just awful. It's otherwise one of the best corvette redesign suggestions I've seen in a while.
What do you guys think of it?

Generally, I like it. The front end is good... I don't like the rocker panels with the worthless little vent opening in front of the rear wheels, though. And the rear end is pretty bad... I'd also prefer to see the rear glass staying pretty similar to how it is now, although that would change the side windows in this design. The visibility out the rear looks pathetic.

I agree the rear looks bad. Too much like a lotus or something. I'm not particularly fond of the front "mustache" grill either. I think GM will do better with the next redesign than this.

I like it - a lot. The C3 tunnel is nice - especially if the rear window could be removed with the top. The Z06 version could have a fastback glass.
One thing that I don't like is the see through hood... Don't like it on the ZR1 either.....

the rear looks like a freaken honda!! The rear end is simply boring and hideous. It accents the rear which is exactly what you don't want to do on a C6 IMO.......... the rest isn't bad!!

The rear actually looks a LOT like an original Daytona Shelby Cobra....

looks bad on rear end and outside right rear views would be horrible. may be nice to look at, but not with that kind of blind spot.
Edit: I do like the wheels tho.
