Interesting. It's *probably* going to look pretty good in the flesh. We'll have to see.

What I'm hoping for is that they got the Cadillac team to handle the interior.

:iagree:

That Camaro looking rear end has got to go. Those tail lights would ruin the look of the car.

Yeah they need to keep the classic Corvette style tails.

If you look at the prototype pictures they seem to be your standard tail lights. Unless they are going to change from this point.

Probaly still has 19th century buggy technology suspension.

You know.... horse cart leaf springs.

You realize the leaf spring used in the Corvette is not the type of spring you probably think it is, right? And have you seen what a Z06, GS, or ZR1 does on a road course? :rolleyes:

Yep, I'm not saying the 'vette does things poorly. I'm just saying it's still using 100 year old technology in the suspension.

It's an evolution of technology invented a long time ago... just like everything else around.

And there are definitely benefits to using a transverse leaf spring as well.

Bottom line is it works and works well.

It's hard to beat the GT-R when NISSAN made a back door deal with the Laws of Physics. :p
