The new Corvette ZR1 could not look meaner, could it? Well, what if we said it could? The proofs are the images on this article, created by Idries Noah, the South Africa’s designer that has also drawn another incredible machine, the Ferrari F250 Concept.
The idea for the FireBlade was to “reflect raw power” and to “be a brute, a car that has muscle car qualities”, according to Noah. Inspired on mythical vehicles such as Shelby Daytona and Corvette Stingray, the FireBlade would have a promising career if it ever had the chance to see the production lines. Meanwhile, it is just a reinterpretation of an already fantastic machine. Anyway, considering the automotive world is very dynamic, we would not be surprised if someone got interested in bringing this car to life. We just hope it to be soon!

Build it or don't build it. It would just be a car without a purpose that only the rich could afford to buy, and they would just let it sit in a collection with the hundreds of other cars without a purpose that only they could afford. Besides, a Chevy in "wolf's clothing" is still just a Chevy.

Another swing-and-miss. It looks pretty good, granted... for a Japanese car. Honestly, where are the American-sized helpings of chrome? The lines on this rendering actually have purpose; that's not very American! They should end abruptly or kink into another direction. Plus the bonnet is too short; as a good rule of thumb, if you can't smuggle an entire Mexican across the border under the hood, it should be longer.

Mind you, the name is exactly the sort of originality I expect from our world's Only Superpower.

How many years has it been since a viper or vette had any chrome on them? Oh wait, the viper has never had any, and the last chrome vette is getting close to 40 years old, and that was just skimpy amounts of it. Also this isn't a Japanese design, its from New Zealand. And then there is the mexican smuggling comment, all of these comments lead me to believe you apply more stereotypes to American's then American's do to the rest of the world. Meaning, your comment is saying less about American design, and more about your personality.

Wow, did an American sh!t in your oatmeal? You probably deserved, you unoriginal hate monger. And I'm really perplexed on how you came to believe this was a Japanese design. You should learn to read.

I said it'd be a pretty good design FOR a Japanese car; meaning, if it were a Japanese car design, it'd be a good one. That's a nuance of the English language I expected to go unnoticed, so I accept both of your apologies. Joe, I know you're an avid participant in these forums, and I appreciate some of your comments, I do. The deal is, I was being satirical. You're Canadian, I believe, so I am going to assume you know what it means to be satirical. As for you, PuddingPuppet, it means I am NOT a "hate monger"; and, ironically, it means you ought to learn to read. Well, not read, but comprehend what you are reading. As for your attack on my "chrome" argument, Joe, have you seen an Escalade? H2? And new Ford? Because the Viper and the Corvette (the best car to come out of America, ever, I believe) lacked chrome, it doesn't debunk the fact Americans love the chrome. Canadians are guilty of all these things, too, don't get me wrong.

You shouldn't be surprised. With all of the America-bashing that goes on here, trying to satirize is just going to look like you're agreeing with it all. Pretty poor satire if you ask me, because I've read and seen plenty of satire and yours barely came off as that.

Alright we should have been a little more clear towards each other, I assumed you were taking about sports cars. For the majority, American sports cars tend to be clean of chrome.

also the subtle nuances are hard to pick up on, "It looks pretty good, granted... for a Japanese car". Even after knowing what you intended I still find it hard to see your meaning. A comparable statement would be radmeister saying "that ford looks really good... for an American car."
