It just dosnt flow with the design. The airducts look like an afterthought. What kind of example do you want other than looking at other cars with intake vents all around the cars. They look much smoother.

Like i said, In certain colors, the ducts appear much less intrusive and the car looks much improved, due to a camo-effect blocking some overstated features... In others colors the ducts looked forced and like an afterthought.

I think they are not an afterthought at all and in a great location. More importantly they are in a good location.

Top Gear? I can lay out the script for you right now:

Car shows up. Hammond loves it, thinks its badass. Clarkson and May call it a joke car.

They all drive it, Hammond loves it, Clarkson does too. May hates it because testing was done at the Nurburgring.

When Clarkson gets out of the car, he complains about the quality of the parts. He then walks to the rear of the car to push in the rear bumper to show this car is made of "plastic".

Hammond loves it.

May is indifferent mostly because he understands it is effective lightweight material and the the vents are functional.

Then they talk about leaf springs and 18th century horse pulled carriages.

Stig does a lap in the car, under the worst conditions, either snow or rain. Fails to get a good lap time for fear of destroying supercars 2-10 times the price of the Vette.

HOW DID YOU GET AN ADVANCE COPY OF THE SCRIPT? I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED WRITING THIS YET AND YOU NAILED IT:mad:

all the colors are insane. i can't choose. i want one of each.

I'll take mine in Orange please.

I am really liking the white. Maybe the rear end will grow on my once I am able to see it in person....

I disagree with the script. If you've followed top gear every season.

May will like it as despite tested at the ring, it has MR which like int he Caddy he loved, allows him to ride comfortably and then go fast too. Hes a practical person. The Corvette has always been decently practicle as far as sports cars go. He likes things like engine management and cyl deactivation and advanced tech.

Clarkson will love it because its still a brute. The torque will get to him and the fact that it isnt just an Auto Tranny like all other super fast cars are going to which he hates. He loved the old corvette despite the plastic and the quality issues. He just likes fast cars that are cheap and look good and this has that.

Richard was the one who actually didnt like the corvette. He was more of a pure muscle car guy , mustang, camaro, challenger etc. He will be the one to mention, "yes but would you rather buy this.. or something else" and he will continue to not like this corvette. he, more so than the others likes the raw mechanical drivers car and this vette, moreso than those in the past has more electronics to interfere with that.

(I may spend too much time watching top gear.. quite honestly my VLC playlist is every top gear episode and it runs on random pretty much for at leats 5 hours a day)

Don't forget the drag race

Oh lord. Maybe my fiancee can by the vert.

it's going to be sooooo expensive to buy two....

I never like the vert when targa is an option.

targa's are the tits.

Targas are awesome. But there is something nice about dropping the whole top and opening up more than just the roof area.

to make it clearer.

A targa top is like pulling a girls shirt up to her shoulders and her bra down slightly. it works well at times and importantly it can be quick so that if you see a cop you can fix it before they pull you over again for doing **** in a public area.

A conv is like taking her shirt and bra off. Not the best idea because the cop will knock on your window and ask you to get out of the car and your only possible response will be "can i put my clothes on first" and then feel really embarrassed.
