Visually, it's almost there. If I were to change anything I would make the rear end a bit smaller, or the front a bit bigger. It looks tail heavy, and not the neutral kind of looks that the original stingray had.

Now this is what the corvette should be, still keeping the corvette look with the rear light and taillights but changing the overall line of the car. I've never been a fan of the vette. but this model if built for the road is worth considering.

I wish the stock C6 was this good. It is a beauty

It's a nice mixture. Would be the best C6, in the way of other retro cars, like camaro or mustang.

Looks pretty normal to me, not many of the lines changed from the current C6. BTW flip up headlights died in the 80s just like GM!

Gorgeous!!! I think that GM should release this as a Stingray remake!!! To make low cost it would be OK with LS3 engine and C6 Z51 tech!!! And of course in limited edition! So those who are more a fan of Stingray would buy this and those who appreciate the modern car they would took the normal C6, track oriented Z06 or supercar ZR1!!! For any taste something!!!

Nice design, but actually build it first and then talk about it. Doing so gives you more credibility than soem random kid who is very good with photoshop.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS CAR!!! GM NEEDS to put this EXACT car into production with pop-up headlights and all! I don't think it is tail heavy, it is just the right balance of modern and retro syncing harmoniously together. I even like the quad-exhaust tailpipes, no need for side outlets. This is a WICKED-HOT, TOTALLY AWESOME CAR! I can't stop looking at it...it's mesmerizing! I am so in awe of this design, it's totally gorgeous!
