Now that looks much more realistic and plausible then the concept that was featured in Transformers 2. I like the look, much more aggressive design.

The power level looks good. The appearance does not. The top of the rear looks like a C6, and the bottom of the back looks like a C4. The front looks like a cartoonified (new word) C6 Z06. I can't really see how you could improve the styling of the Corvette after the C6.

I am doubtful that it will look like that, but who knows. It looks like something they would have drawn up for the C6 before it came out.

Thanks God they aren't going to be using the original C7 Transformers concept.

" A new addition to the model line is the "Super Corvette", which we have called the Corvette SS. The Corvette SS, starting at $115,000, has a supercharged version of the engine, making 850HP. The SS also adds features like ceramic brakes, something GM has opted out of the current car because of the over $10k cost. The price has been brought down though, however and it's a feature that certainly should be present on the very best of Corvettes."


......hmmm lets call it a c7 ZR1!!!!

im thinking this is old. ive seen that around somewhere before. the fact that it mentions the "up level" vette as a "super corvette" and not ZR1 by name screams old news to me. plus, it really does look like a cartoon. :gay:

Those pictures have been out for well over a year, I wouldn't hold my breath on any of it, SS is now a watered down turd name, they'll never name the top dog vette an SS

that it is one ugly car....and IMHO the "SS" badge has no business on a corvette. there has never been a SS corvette, therefore, there should not be one now...imo

You guys this HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CHEVY. Any one of you who go on that site should be familiar with revitalization in action. Thats website just sits around and comes up with THEIR OWN ideas and basically says "if we owned so-in-so company, this is what we would like to do". Look around, they did all GM brands. Geesh, people seriously need to read before posting. Or commenting for that matter.

I don't think the link is anything new. I remember seeing that picture a few months back on Corvette Forum. I think they were discussing a turbo-6 in it also. It has been awhile though.

That information was a bunch of photoshop savvy guys making a GM wishlist waaaayyyyyyyy back around 05-06. They started a forum gauging interest and got some input as to what people would like to see in GM's future product. These concepts are what they came up with.

I like the stingray concept as well as the C7 shown at the top. Both are very dramatic and hold true to either the legacy of yonder or legacy of yester
