Don't worry, I will not think of it.

I see very little resemblance to the sixty-three icon. I do not care for the styling treatment of the back end of the car, but overall it looks wicked fast and swoopy!Â

It's a weapon, not a car. I'll stick to what I have, thanks.

nah for me too. But what about the new ZR1 for 25. 1085 hp on a 5.5l twin turbo v8, goes over 200 mph.

@carsman1958, that is the new ZR 1. It's an incredible machine. Check out the link to the article.

I think this rear window treatment makes the car look "cladded for battle." Not for me....nor is the price sadly. Lol.

I'm a Corvette kinda guy. I have loved the car since the day I got a brand new 1953 Corvette Promo from my parents. Me holding it - 1953:
I've owned three of them, 2 brand new, one of which was a Z06. But this beauty is way out of my league today. The rear "split window" treatment looks IMHO, to be way overdone. I understand, perfectly, that the acknowledged reason is to dissipate the massive amounts of engine heat. Ferrari did it with style, grace and efficiency in the F-40. The Vette would look far better with the same type of treatment:

I foresee many burnouts, dragstrip-sprints and car-to-car-comparisons, while looking in my crystal-ball.
I feel proud that Corvette is raising the bar further and further..........although one can't possibly compary it to my 1972 Corvette.....a world of difference in between.

That is a really great family picture Tony and the Corvette in your hand makes it perfect considering your love of the car. I love it!
