The C3 Vette was getting so stale, that they quit making them. Chevy sold NO 1983 Corvettes.
Gull Wing !
Does it come with batteries and a nuclear-powered recharging station?!?
how about no.
Back in the 60s before the internet and AI I may have designed some good looking GM cars
this is just stupid.
Just want a v8, 2 seats and a clutch. All I ask.
zero clearance car. why?
I don’t like it.
I liked the old, 1st generation Corvettes.
Not on Michigan roads!! If my numbers did ever hit I would seriously consider that 1500HP 70/SS Chevelle!!
And I thought my C8 was awesome, this thing would be killer!
The front fenders are a major visual obstruction.
It has both large front and rear air scoops. Why?
Looks familiar..................
Air conditioning?...................
Probably has 360° cameras...................
That might make for an exotic supercar along the lines of the Ford GT.
But that ain’t no Corvette.
Can't be much worse than the front door pillars on my crossover. I've come close to reaching the bag limit on pedestrians at stop signs because of them.
Digital cameras have a delay.
