Corvette C6 Z06 E85 Concept - Will the Americans ever get it right?

If your an avid reader of this blog you will know I don't much tend to like American exports. But the lure of a strait 500bhp corvette is undeniable. The overall design is typical corvette and although it seems to tick every box that a fast car should it seems to still look a bit like a combination of Keira nightly, Angelina Jolie and a cat. It seems to me like a car half born from a modern nice sports car but with legs made in the 1980s. I do not think its styling is anything to be proud of compared to for example the konensiggggggggggg, veyron - in fact any big value car - hell even the R8 is beautiful in comparison. Police lights are this photo's saving grace - they do make any car look cooler - especially low impact ones...still a corvette though :/

Corvette ZR1 - Something good comes out of america?

The title yes does sound a bit anti-america. But I am not anti america - they did probably help in developing the internet age and they are in essence still young in terms of history - but this car actually looks good? I was driving behind a corvette in the UK last week but it was a much older model so I payed it little attention. This one however looks pretty damn good. I don't like the central buldge which looks new style celica like (bad for a higher end car) but the lights look supra like which is ok. Still cant work out what that weird central bit on the bonnet is though????
