    Holy hell it looks like it wants to be a 512 or 699.

    The problem with this design is that it simply looks like a body kit. The doors are unmistakably Corvette. That's not a bad thing, as the Corvette C6 is a gorgeous car. But the Mantide does a much better job of hiding its Corvette roots than this does. Of course, that thing is ugly as sin too. So I don't see any reason to buy a Mantide or SV9 over a standard Corvette ZR1.

    "Thankfully, things start to get better once you turn her around". Winning quote.

    But seriously, this is an insult to both cars. Corvette has a enough of its own rich heritage thank you. It doesn't need to be the basis for an overpriced kit-car. The people that make and buy these things are the same ones that insist on putting fake convertible roofs and white wall tires on Cadillac CTSs. It seems the Corvette just can't shed its blue-collar complex.

    A Vette should look like a Vette,why copy the Italians when they're not exactly the kings of design they once were. How many people would pick new Italian styling over the classics?

    There's nothing wrong with the regular Corvette's styling. It's pure and purposeful. So this exercise begs the ages-old question:

    wtf?!

    Wow, are you sure this is not the Chinese knock off of an Italian design? That is putrid.

    That C-pillar fake-out is the most atrocious thing I have ever seen.

    The C6 corvette is really getting long in the tooth. For a design that is only 5 years old (and far better than its predecessor), it's disappointing how aged these cars look today.

    They made an Irish version as well, but it got drunk and fell off of the assembly line.

    Did they change the American V8 growl to something more Italian?

    Instead of "glub glub glub glub roooooooaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr" it will be "agluba agluba agluba pppppppiiiiiiiiizzzzzzzaaaaaaa".

    For $100k, you can also have the ZR1 with the LS9.
