Hopefully the side intake scoops are just camo because they don't seem to look integrated to the rear quarter. They kind of sticking out. Looking forward to see the real thing.

Here is my concern with the C8. When the C6 came out, it was fast, but whenever being compared to the 911 S, although it was faster at the track, people always ended up picking the 911 S as the winner. When it comes to the finer things, the C6 always came up short - a lot short. GM fixed a lot of that in the C7 but still it does not quite measure up the 911 standard.

There is a lot of talk about the C8 will start around 65K or somewhere there but I just hope the C8 won't be the C6 of mid engine Corvette - fast but feeling a bit crude and unsophisticated. I still don't see how you can make a proper mid-engine with that kind of performance for 65K unless you will compromise on the quality.
