Or the child of a Camaro, C6 Vette and a Viper  :eek2:

no round tail lights?  :brickwall:

does nothing for me anymore....the only body style I ever liked in the Corvette series was 1963 through 1967

Not a Chevy guy but the new Vette looks cool, down to the new tail lights... Cool exhaust too...  I watched a video today of a stock Supercharged Z06 C6 reach 200mph on the autobahn, that's impressive, and this Mopar guy isn't too ignorant to admit when a car looks good, even if it is a Chevy!    :2thumbs:

Ghoste

I like the performance but if they could keep one nod to the past I wish it would be the round taillights.  Its one badass car no matter what.

Best looking Vettes are still the 1956-1957s...  :drool5:

Ghoste

I think for me, the best years were the same ones Bryan likes.

I love the new 'Vette. Sculpted art on wheels IMO. Not crazy about the camaro tail lights, but that wouldn't stop me from buying one.

That pic is the only one where it looks good, watched the unveiling....looks like trash imo

You won't find me in one anytime soon.  Interior doesn't look that woopy, but I haven't been in it to really come to any conclusions.  I'm not really digging the quarter windows.  Chevy should really stick to tradition, but I guess the Corvette has always been the trendsetter flagship for the company.  Some parts of it are cool, but other parts are  :eek2:  I wouldn't put the Stingray name on it.  Leave that name to Vettes of yesteryear and come up with a new name.  The emblem doesn't even look that woopy on it either.

Out of my price range but in about 15 years a C6 Vette would be nice.

The rear window treatment looks a bit like the Chrysler Misfire.

I don't care for it. Sure it may be one of the fastest cars out there but im tired of the "Edgy" styling, I like curves!
Sold my Charger unfortunately....never got it finished.

I prefer the edgy look. All cars now have curves. And thats why they all look the same. To much of the same thing is ugly when it comes to cars.

Another vote for the classic Vette here, nothing like a split window!

I like the sharp edges and the Ferrari look to the car.  I'll be trading in my C6 Grand Sport when the second model year comes out.  I want to see what their Z06 package looks like.

BTW...people bitched and moaned when the disappearing headlights went away with the C6.  Now it looks just like a part of the car.  I suspect the same will happen with the tail end, although I don't see that much Camaro in it.  Maybe a few design cues but that's about it.

Here's the convertible version.  It looks better with the roof off in my opinion

I dont like convertables at all myself with the only acception the Shelby Cobra's.

I rather have a Corvette over a Viper only cause I do not like the V10 engines at all. I think it would be a better car with big V8's instead.

Really?  I much prefer the Viper personally but totally get that it isn't for everyone. (nothing is right?)

I will take either, if you donate it to me.  :icon_smile_big:

The V10 is just too powerful therse no car that can handle it thats why the V8 is probably better suited!  Even pro drivers are scared to drive the Viper due to the engine being too powerful.

I seen them run on Pass Time, and they weren't really much faster then the Camaros or Mustangs, and a lot of times, they were slower. I'm not impressed by the V10 at all. Plus I don't like how they sound.

As a Dodge guy, I'd have to have the Viper.  Collectability, I'd rather have the Viper.  I think the Corvette has become too refined.  30 mpg sounds great on the highway, but I see them being overlooked recently.  They're becoming more of a midlife crisis retreat than something an up and coming showoff would buy.  They're good if you want cheap performance, but they've lost thier appeal that they worked so hard to get.  They maybe Chevy's flagship, but they're nothing more than a fancy 2 dr Cadillac imo.  Buy something different if your looking for the wow factor. :Twocents:

Ghoste

Thats kind of how I've started to see them too.  I don't know exactly but they managed to get into the performance and style and price range of many other sports cars and yet somehow forget about image.  Real image, not the kind the marketing people try to generate but the one that resonates in the public.

Every time I've seen a new corvette around here over the last several years...

It's being driven by a middle aged woman...

ACUDANUT

That's because she got it in the Divorse settlement.

A new Corvette is an old mans car. That is who buys them. Pay the man his money and get a really fast car. I would love to see Chevy build a plain Jane Corvette with no options. Price it in the  $40's, 450 HP, great brakes, and off you go. Why don't they do that anymore? Even Chrysler. Put a 392 Hemi in a stripped down Chally and sell it cheap, just like the old days. 
1972 Charger Topper Special, 360ci, 46RH OD trans, 8 3/4 sure grip with 3.91 gear, 14.93@92 mph.
1973 Charger Rallye, 4 speed, muscle rat. Whatever engine right now?

The manufacturers won't build a car like that anymore because they have to build a car that will appeal to the masses.   Us hotrodders that want a stripped down hot rod with big engines are a very small niche.

They also have to start making cars that will get 56 mph by 2019.
