My biggest concern with the new design is the front fenders. I don't like how much room there is from the top of the wheel well to the top of the fender. It makes the car look a little bit bloated. Also, I wish the whole body were scaled down in height to give it a lower, meaner stance. That said, I have only seen the car in pictures and pictures never translate well to seeing the car in person. Overall, the car looks pretty good. The interior definitely seems to be a huge step forward. I am glad that someone like Ralph who loves the car so much and has so much passion is in charge of the project.

I understand that there must be some threaded points in the frame for a 6 point belt but it does not appear a sub belt could come up out of the seat through a slit or something? Also, the lower seats do not look like they have much lateral support...or is it just the pict? Please don't be useless like the Z06 seats.

thanks...these are excellent! Anybody know of any SRT (non-GTS) picts?

The car looks SO MUCH BETTER in person. It is NOT tall, nor does it look "bloated". Not IMO, anyway.


Austin thanks for posting, that first pic looks amazing

No problem, Ron. Everyone likes pics.:D

True. A great looking car always looks much better in person than in pics. They did a great job on this car. Style-wize the only important change I could see would be making the crosshairs more pronounced.

Car is great, but way to much gap in fenders. Looks cheezy on a 120k car.

I'd like to see some pictures that were not so "overdone" with tricks. Just a stright up normal color and lighting picture. Kind of like taking a picture of a beautiful woman without all the makeup.

I'd say those pics aren't "overdone". The car is basically sitting in an automotive clean-room. TONS of fluorescent lights, which means saturation of light and reflections; this is made "worse" because of the car being so clean and polished.

Absolutely stunning. When I have my GEN one at the car shows everyone keep saying "have you seen that new GEN five? " I just say, "yeah it's a beast"

Don't worry the seats are DEEP and very supportive, the lighting there is not the best to see that though.

That second shot from the top looks very similar to the Volado concept...absolutely love those lines.
