Hey, no problem.

Yea, they also use the prototype in the Transformers 2 movie, which I thought was great!

Allthebest, c4c5

That vehicle is absolutely freaking cool!! I saw it at our International Auto show last fall, totally spectacular. Best vehicle at the show by far. That would be a great car for GM to put into production. I especially liked the stingray emblems on the trunk and quarter panels, I would love to find and buy some if they exist any where.

Very cool, but expect the split window to go away for the same reasons the first did, if it makes production.

My friends at GM claim a smaller V8 with similar LS3 power is coming. Dunno. Kinda curious if they'll go the Ford route and turbo charge a V6, but the ghost of Duntov may haunt that idea!

In my opinion they can get around the split window problem with cameras, I think it would fly if they really want it to.

A V-6 engine, no matter how asperated or powerful, would just kill the whole vehicle for me. No way do I want the sound or feel of anything but a V-8 in a vette, especially the sound. God I hope they don't do a V-6, but I know that is the mentality now.

These are easy to get, and in numerous colors! I paid $15 for this one. They also had a silver that is similar to "Blade" or "Machine."

With the development of direct injection, I'm hearing the same.

I sure would've bought the GNX plant-powered Vette that I saw in the test shop at GM many years ago!

I think direct injection is coming for sure, but what will the displacement be? Go back to 5.7L?

Also, seeing those models at cruises for $10. Nicely detailed. Gotta hand it to those Asian kids toiling away making our toys today!
