I like it but over 3K pounds? That seems heavy for what it is, doesn't it?

I think that is a great looking car, very serious looking, yet stylish at the same time. Looks like a giant Elise meets Aston Martin.

I think 3K lbs is pretty good these days considering all the electronics and sophistication of the chassis....alot of parts in that car.

Regarding weights, my Lotus Esprit weighed 2750lbs with a modest 4 banger and a composite body with a very light frame. You can't realistically get much lighter than that and have a crash tested chassis that can handle any real power and still have things like headlights, airbags, power leather seats, hi fi stereo, a/c, etc. with a V8 and accompanying tranny and transaxle.

Hell, the new Elise is like what, 2200lbs and it's the size of a shopping cart with a 4 banger in it.

I think it looks great, i would love to see a C7 vette with a radical front end like that, the windshield back does look a little too much like a lotus but overall it is nice

Not really sure how I feel about it. I kind of like it, kind of don't. I guess it depends on whether or not there is a big improvement in performance over the Vette it is based off of. I would like to have all that CF though .
