Looks like a Gallardo chopped w/ a C6 which isn't all that bad. But GM has confirmed that it's not a rear-mid engine and will again be front-mid.
Will be interesting to see what GM does w/ the new car. I'm guessing aluminum chassis standard, carbon panels standard. Direct injected 5.3 or 5.7 V8 w/ a true dual-clutch gearbox. As for looks... maybe some lines from that Stingray Transformers concept car on a C6. Wonder if they'll massage the C6 lines or do something more drastic.

I for one hope that it's not a massaged C6. I already think there are too many similarities between the C5 and C6, and welcome a BIG change to reignite my passion.

I really like the C6 now, but it took some time for me to warm up on it. I'd love to have a red/tan vert. That said, I'd have to take on about 10k in debt to get one and don't want to do that because in a couple of years we'll be seeing C7 shots and I have a suspicion I'll love it. |

It took a while for the C6 to grow on me, whereas the C5 was an instant hit. Unlike most people I've talked to, I really like the Stingray concept in Transformers, especially the interior. I think you did the right thing in keeping your first corvette (like I will), and waiting out for the C7 (as long as it's not a C5.5.5/C6.5)

Love the Stingray/Transformers concept. Hope they make that into the C7.

I hope GM steps up to the plate and makes it mid-ship.
Or at least make it as low slung as a say a Ford GT or Mosler. |
