    As far as Vettes go, I've never found I needed anything more than a Z06, myself. Even a Z51 is plenty for 95% of what I'd use a two seater for. I know the ZR-1 is a better track tool, but I wouldn't be buying a Vette for the track. And I like my street cars to be subtle, so a decal package doesn't do it for me.

    If you think this makes your 'Vette racier, then you don't know Jake.

    I don't get it, it says this is about Serious track influenced design features and a Focus on lightweight and performance driving. But isn't it just a decal package? I mean, is there a radio delete option? Have they cut out some of the sound-deadening? What the Eff? If I want to buy something that has track aspirations, I want it to take some steps toward that goal. I don't want to just look like a d-bag poseur.

    This makes a '77 Z/28 look comparatively tasteful.

    I am a self-diagnosed Corvette fan boy. However, I cannot justify an additional $3,350 for what amounts to little more than an appearance package. I might be suckerred into paying that much more if it was a stripped-out version with bigger breaks and little power hike, but not for a bunch of stickers.


    I'm sorry, GM. I love you and all, but this is almost (but not quite) as bad as the late 70's Cobra II appearance package on Mustang IIs.

    If you've got enough dough to drop $70k on a 'Vette, why not scrape together $30k more and spring for the ZR1?

    Buy it, store it and in 30 years you will have lost a ton of money after factoring in the time value of money and heated / climate controlled storage coupled with the fact that at auction a run of the mill production car won't even make its original sticker price.

    I personally would never get it. Stripes, wheels, embroidery, and special pedals? I wouldn't take it if it were *free*. I value subtlety.

    @nick2ny: Although, i have to say, it is a little cool that it comes with roundels and numbers, although I dunno why they don't fit in the circle.

    I would rather mould my $150k into a big papier mache pot than spend it on that.


    Occasionally people really should think before doing.

    Appears to be the result of an Alfa 8C,a Jag & a Maserati getting on with a Vette,not good.

    I like it okay, I'd be happy if I won it on a gam show. I think most of Italy's recent design offerings have been pretty generic and fall quite short of what the past has given us. But then again, I like Opel GTs and malaise era Matador Coupes too.

    @jasper911: You're right on the money. All of the design houses have been struggling, and some have folded altogether. Not exactly a wellspring of stylistic innovation right now.


    And even though it's a carbon composite body I would think you could get a better panel gap fit. Looks what you'd see on a '70s TVR.

    I think it has some possiblity. Ferrari nose, bubblicious butt...


    But they need to do something different with the 'Vette roofline...


    ...and, seriously, ditch the Hyundai Elantra styleline.

    Agree with all of you, this makes no sence. You better buy a Vette and keep the change.
