Though it does have a nice updated presence overall the design looks quite busy with a lot of details - vents/scoops, lots body line creases and angular details, 4 central exhaust tips, and the black A-pillar.

The vent over the rear wheel seems especially unnecessary.

Also, good overall job keeping the Corvette design DNA yet keeping it modern + with the times.

Probably some sort of brake cooling vent. But yeah, it's gotta lot of vents/scoops - big one on the hood, behind the front wheels, top of rear wheels, and around the taillights.

Friggin badass.  Back window shape is a nice historical touch.

I like what I see so far. What's the monthly payments on a $70,000 car?  :hammerhead:

Pretty good looking, but a little too busy. I think the C6 looks better.

So is it a configurable LCD dash then? Or different dash options?

Changes depending on what drive mode you've selected.

The rear is a bit busy, and I can't say I am a fan of the exhausts, but overall I love this!

Just like the 911.  Not sure why people are so surprised.
