I've seen some of those Karl Kustoms sell at Meacom's for a ton of money.

Awesome concept. Poor execution.
Yup that's my take. I actually love the idea, but for god's sake respect the design of the original stingray and stick to it rather than creating an unholy C2/C6 body hybrid.

More proof that GM should just cast off all the old stying cues and design something completely new for the next Corvette.

While I agree that they should take the Vette in a different direction, what are you saying exactly?

They did not bolt on some body parts from a 67 Vette, this is all custom. They could have made it look like a tennis shoe giant rolling cock with the same amount of effort.

For the record, I think that the main thing they should change on the corvette is the rear end. It needs more of DB9 tapered rear end rather than the flat, broad rear end it currently has.

My point is corvette styling has hardly moved an inch in 40 years and all the most recent Vette prototypes have had the same stying cues.

Here's an example, just more of the same.
