    Looks pretty awesome in that blue and the wheels add a bit more drama to the shape. One had to admire the Corvette for sticking to the same basic formula for so long and keeping buyers interested, this may be controversial but to me thew Corvette is every bit as iconic as the Porsche 911.

    Funny you mention that. I just flipped thru the new Road & Track; they state the next gen Vette was going to be mid-engine but shelved those plans due to the bankruptcy. That said, it seems as if there are always rumors (hope?) of the next one being mid-engine.

    this is a great performance car value. 2/3 599 style and performance for 1/3 the price.

    just wonder how much those crazy fxx brakes will cost to maintain?

    Great video! Has anyone seen a real car in orange yet? I have seen photoshop but nothing else. The interior in that car is fantastic.

    95SM- With normal street driving, those brakes should last the life of the car. Plus no brake dust on your wheels. Not that you would notice with those gray wheels, at any rate.

    Perfect analysis. Why can't GM make an attractive Corvette?

    As a dealer I'm sure that he will show it then sell it, then take the -$200k loss on his taxes. ;)

    I really dig this car. We have an Inferno Orange Grand Sport coupe on the lot. Great color.
