    That would be about 150k. Still a bargain compared to Ferrari prices...

    Maybe the person who did this, should work for GM. Looks good to me.

    Based on the "McDonalds" cars, this render is not even close.

    Good, because the one in post #718 is looks much better, IMHO.

    I think the one in post #718 is starting to look like the new NSX

    For what it's worth, my 2014 (first year of the C7) has been my best Corvette (5 total) by a LONG shot. NO unscheduled stops in almost 4 years.

    Mine's been bullet proof, too. Almost 30k miles and nothing more than tires and oil.

    I don't see that at all.

    Looks more Ferrari to me, but with lots of Stingray DNA. :)

    ^^^^
    Yes. Different wheels.
    Both cars have a lot of Styrofoam under the cladding in the back to throw off the true shape.

    That was my take - one a coupe, the other a convertible (or something like that). I know there's a lot of camo, and I hope the shape is more lithe, it looks odd - not sure what to make of it yet.

    Both cars running seem to be the coupe (targa top) version. Maybe the vertical back window will go up and down like how the 458 spider works...

    Another thing that's odd....the car with the machined face wheels has what looks like some kind of sensor on the halo, on the car with the split spoke black wheels, that sensor is not on the halo, but towards the back of the car on the window, maybe?

    So maybe one is a convertible and one a coupe?

    I'm pretty sure that's the case. Looks to me like one has the buttresses / flat window, one with what might be glass. If you look at the 488, it's similar - one has glass, one has buttresses / flat window.

    Nice to see the exhaust tips where they belong. Hopefully, they will fix the taillight disaster in this version as well...

    If it's a convertible, it's a hardtop convertible. I'm not so sure.

    A buggy whip holder would be nice, too! :D

    The car has to be close to being introduced. A poster over at CF has stated he's seen the car, courtesy of a 3rd party supplier to GM. His comments were very interesting, particularly around the shape of the car:

    Just like a Ferrari...
    Will we have to buy an Impala to get on the dealer allocation list for a ME Corvette? :D
