A lot better looking than those other vintage corvette replica cars based on C5 and C6... I actually kinda like the look - particularly the front end. What do you guys think?

I like it,......until I saw the front!! lolll...:lol:
I like the side view, the rear view, but the front needs work in my opinion. I think it's the headlights? Other than that, pretty cool!:thumbsup:

That would look good parked in this guys garage

yeah think is looks just as good as all those other retro-thowback vettes...in other words:thmbsdwn:

My neighbor across the street is VP/partner in a high end dealership... Aston Martin and Lotus dealer - and does lots of consignment etc... you get the picture... They're also dealers for the C5 based 62 Vette POS.... And he's got the hawaiian shirts (Tommy Bahama) and the gold chains... and the greasy hair...

No doubt he'll be wanting one of these. :willy: :willy: :rofl: :woot:


Did I mention he hasn't made a house payment for 6 months? :faint: :wow:

He's not the squatter from Kirkland that I read about recently is he? :_paranoid

Could be... but it's not a Kirkland dealership...

You may have read about his (my neighbors) partner - that just 'lost' 200 million... Is that who you're thinking about?
:_paranoid

damn! how does one go about "losing" 200 million? if i had 200 million i wouldn't let it out of my sight! haha.

sorry took the thread off track.....

the back i like, the front not so much.

there, that's better....on track again.

i actually like it... even the front end... but lets see how it looks once ite actually real.. and not a rendering of a figment of some guys imagination:rolleyes:

I saw this car last Sunday . Good bodywork . Had some calipers ( pre production) that I really liked .
Color is unique
Leagal to call it a Rossi ..? Valentino know about this ?

Like a train wreck -- I had to go back and take a second look. Funny - because this time around... I couldn't help think that the designers at GM have done a pretty good job bringing the Corvette along... Where as the Rossi - (to me) looks like what it is... somebody trying desperately to capture every OLD styling cue while "modernizing" it at the same time.

We hang out at the XXX (Rootbeer not porn) - on Saturday afternoons... and a guy pulled in with the '62' version of the C5... and as a group (8 or 9 of us) all said the same thing. If you like a '62 vette - then just buy one. If you want modern driving then just buy a new Vette... 'cause this guy spent $150 grand for a car that has ZERO resale value... and he could have had a real '62 and a new Vette for the same money! :rofl: True! $100K will get you a decently restored '62 and a new Vette is close to $50K (okay maybe more like 60)...

Hybrid
 

There were 2-3 of the C5/6 hybrid cars at a local car show last weekend. My wife looked at one and asked "why"? A buddy saw one and thought it was great. Is there really a market for these things? As Greg says why buy a new C6 and spend another 100K to bastardize it? I guess there is a safety upgrade over modifying an old Corvette with a modern chassis and drivetrain. The cost is the same, resale on the old one has to be alot higher though.

Nick

but what if he has only enough room for one car in his garage?

If that's the case -- then "he's" not going to buy ANY of this stuff.... :rofl: :cheers: :woot:

I like it, but I still think the C3R was the best "retro" design idea.
