That shot looks particularly good. Shows the fenders flared a bit...

Chevrolet hit the ball out of the part! Very daring. They did NOT play it safe at all. Thank God!

The interior is perfect! The exterior design surpasses my expectations. Too busy for some? There will be other variants. I do not have one single complaint.

GM failed to take a gamble with the MY14 Chevy and GMC pick-ups. They should have, IMO. Not the case with the 2014 Corvette from the photos and drawings.

Can't stop looking at it.  Putting a kid on eBay ASAP!

Looks good.  Busy, but good.

As I say... Often not unlike a broken record, I admit, a car of this magnitude needs to evoke passion (a love or hate it reaction). Mission accomplished, I must say. No "meh" factor, IMHO.

I definitely see an Italian flavor to it (Ferrari for sure) and more than a hint of the 2012 SRT Viper. These resemblances without being a clone or copycat, I think.

Why does the red interior car look like it's a manual trans but has flappy paddles?

They said they were going for an international appeal......

It's almost too flashy...like a tuner car.  It almost looks like it could be a Lingenfelter...almost.

Other than having too many gears,  I think this car is awesome.  You can definitely count me as a fan.  I have been a Viper fan since Day 1 and I have always preferred the Viper to the Vette, but not anymore.  Vette all the way now.

SVT666

The headlights and the double bubble roof do look like direct Viper rip-offs, but big deal, this car is hotter...for the first time I can say that the Vette is hotter than the Viper.  SRT played it way too safe with the new Viper's styling.

I would probably get it in dark grey or black to hide the hood vent.

Like the dark grey myself.  Too bad the red leather is too bright.  I like the dark red in the BMW's.

Yeah, I think the vents should be body color.

Looks awesome. I'll take one.

So how does this paddle thing work?  They say "rev match" on them...but you still have a conventional stick?

I can't really come up with anything that makes sense.  I've watching an hours worth of interviews hoping to find out.

Not sure I love the rear or the hood vent but overall not bad.

From what I understand there should be Porsche like levels of interior options as far as appearance goes.

I like. Most importantly for me, what's the cheapest I'll be able to find a C6 for in a couple of years? C6 = my next car. :lol:

(Interior reminds me of the E31, looks awesome)
