StingRay Concept + Camaro Z/28 ?
RE: Corvette StingRay ConCept : )
the whole car is ugly... too 'Spacy looking... too futuristic...
I feel the same about tihs as I do the Camaro. I can kind of see where they were trying to go with the retro design... but they failed. But.. I seem to be outnumbered on this view so I guess I just have to accept what others like!

I must say that this might just be my new dream car. This or the Caddillac Cien

"To each their own"
Not every auto creation is for everyone, 4-Sure. Especially when it
comes to high-performance 2 passenger futuristic conceptsports cars.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beer-holder, orsmok`in pipe holder 
lol
lolI am just thankful that we live in a World that we have so many automotive
choices, for so many different types of people on this planet called `Earth.
I may not agree with every persons choice/opinions/posts, but I shall respect
them. I shall continue on my journey of `life not purposely hurting
with my words or acts.
I love the new Concept StingRay Corvette...4-Sure!
Thanks to all members that posted on this thread.
The purpose was toshare, & solicit your opinions on the Concept StingRay.
I did not expect that everyone would like `it, but I sure do
Peace/Out/`Space

Now the Corvette Stingray Concept's finally official, uncovered as Sideswipe here in Chicago ahead of a starring role in Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen. Gallery below. UPDATE: Video here!

It just seemed weird, considering GM's level of involvement in Transformers, for them not to have a Corvette in the movie. Now, here it is. It's not the next Corvette,[X(] but it is what we wish the next Corvette would look like
— it's the Stingray Corvette Concept, and it'll play the character of Sideswipe. Frankly, it was gorgeous when we first saw it at GM's design center and it's even more gorgeous now. We'll have more on the rest of the Autobots revealed here in Chicago shortly, but we kinda figured you'd want to see this silver gleaming slab of beautiful first.
By the way, I just touched it. Now I want one.

The Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Returns
The Ultimate Camaro is Ready to Go. But There's One Small Problem...[align=center][/align]

These are strange times at post-bailout GM. Having taken taxpayer money, the company is no longer master of its own destiny. It was bad enough when, late last year, new-model programs were halted to conserve dwindling cash reserves. Now, though, there's another thread running through GM's product planning process: not, should we build this vehicle, but is this a vehicle we should be seen to be building?
The Camaro Z/28 is one of those vehicles.
[align=center][/align]
Sources inside GM say the new Z/28 is basically done. The image you see on these pages is very close to the final signed-off design, based on photos of a scale clay model we've seen. Key details to note are the deeper front bumper fascia, with larger front aperture under the grille and the spotlights mounted in deep vents on either side. The Z/28 also gets a different grille mesh compared with the standard Camaro's.
At the rear is a taller lip spoiler that runs the full width of the car. A new rear-bumper fascia features a deeper section with integrated exhaust outlets. The wheels are 20-inchers with an aggressive "tuning-fork" five-spoke pattern.
A new hood features a large, forward-facing scoop. Underneath is the 6.2-liter supercharged LSA V-8 that also powers the Cadillac CTS-V. As we have already confirmed, this is quite a powerplant, delivering 556 horsepower at 6100 rpm and 551 pound-feet of torque at 3800 rpm. The Z/28 will also share the CTS-Vs six speed manual and automatic transmissions.
The near-4300-pound CTS-V thunders from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and nails the quarter mile in 12.3 seconds (automatic) or 12.4 seconds (manual). Top speed is limited to 175 mph in the auto (to preserve the tranny), but the manual will storm to an autobahn-melting 193 mph. As the Z/28 will weigh 200 to 300 pounds less than the CTS-V, it may nail 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and run the quarter in the very low 12s. This Z/28 could be the fastest Chevy ponycar since the legendary ZL-1-powered COPO 9560 Camaros built 40 years ago.
Only problem is the Z/28 is on hold. First, GM ran out of money to finish and launch the car. Now, some inside the company are wondering whether selling a super-fast, super-powerful two-door Chevy coupe that will likely get no better than 13-19 mpg is the right thing to do for a company that's had to beg for money from a bunch of politicians who seem to think it really ought to be building gas-sipping Prius clones.
"In the current environment, it would be very difficult to get any traction on a large rear-drive program," says one insider. But a hard core of performance enthusiasts inside GM are hopeful they can get the Z/28 back on track. "If we leave it too long, the car will become irrelevant," frets one source. One idea reportedly under study calls for a strictly limited production run, with each car individually numbered, to attract collectors and enthusiasts, and priced to ensure a solid profit margin.
According to sources, GM product chief Bob Lutz has said that, while he would love to do the car, "We need to make the world right first." However, that could take cash-crunched GM a long, long time.
