Heres the story. Someone emailed the pictures to LS1Tech and they went ahead and posted them up for all to see. GM got wind of this and was not happy. Sounds like someone is going to lose their job over this.
Anyhow if you guys like the 1st gen, you will love this car. If you look hard enough you will find it on the net somewhere. |

So far, I hate it. Guess I'll keep planning on a Corvette for the next car.
edit to explain that I like that drawing, I hate the version that was in the pictures. |

It's obvious a concept car not a ready for production model, but I kind of like it. I definitely like it better than the 4th gen. It has some reminders of the 1st gen, but doesn't seem blatantly retro.
I really like the amount of tire that's under it, no big wheeled skinnies on this one. |

I didn't like the 4th gen either. I'm not sure that I do yet. I bought it because of what it does/can do, and not how it looks. It's grown on me though (I'd still rather have a 3rd gen). I'm not sure either of those would grow on me though. The big blingy wheels (at least they are reasonably wide) irritate me (like the new 19" wheels on the Corvette....why?). And, I'm getting pretty tired of retro already....
Of course, if they bring back an F-body at all, it's a good start. |

Well please remember these concept cars are often exaggerated in proportions and usually the final product won't have the monster wheels/tires and zero fender gap, etc.

Well, seems as though everyone has taken the pictures down, so if anyone has saved them, could you email them to me?

Thanks for sending the pix!
(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) However, I MUST say that if GM builds ANYTHING remotely resembling THAT car....expect the company to go out of business! THAT IS ONE UGLY MF'er! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
