I think it looks exquisite! I have two of the "Batman's Joker" models and it doesn't bother me one bit. :nana:

Honestly, doesn't bother me either. You can own whatever you like.

I don't have to look at them. :p ;)

If it was mid-engined, it wouldn't be a Corvette.

I like it. The design is one that takes awhile to sink in. Once it does, the more you look at; the better it looks each time.

I'm just gonna look at it some more. :huh:

Lines are too sharp, looks like a Cadillac,
a few too many bits (duck tail) make it look Camaro'ish

Vetts always have had round taillights, these again look toooo Camaro'ish

.....more like an interns fantasy drawing of "three cars in one"


If I win the lottery, the first thing I'm gettin' is a 2012 gray metallic Z06 w/ matte black wheels :devil::devil:

Most of the pony cars got updated overnight, some highlights;


Pricing for the Caddy V-powered 580hp Camaro ZL1 is $55,000; 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, 184 mph, 1.0G skidpad:

All Mustangs have slightly revised front ends, and GT now has 420hp, so the base V8 is barely 20hp shy of the Boss; there's also a new Track Pack, which includes the 3.73 axle and the Boss' limited slip diff, plus track apps for the in dash system, which includes your very own drag light tree:

The Boss keeps its 444hp engine but gets new striping and hood vents, some suspension revision, and Sync is standard:

The Shelby GT500 now has 650hp - that's not a typo, it has 100 more horsepower in a single year update. And it should be able to nudge the 200 mph mark. It would appear the ZL1 has been upstaged before it even reached the dealerships:

Ah, they went too far with that. LOL !

It is a bit goofy, but you can set the display to view a wide variety of car parameters, a la the Nissan Skyline. And besides, if they could have figured out a way to put a light tree in the old muscle cars, wouldn't they have? This is sort of like this generation's hood-mounted tachometer..
