I'm buying one and I don't care what anyone else thinks

Tell me that it does not look like the Mach 5

The performance you get for the price is sweet but 50k a a chevy that and the typical corvette driver does not reflect the image I like

It pretty much looks the same as the current Corvette, which looks great. The only thing wrong with the current Corvette is its crap interior. Hopefully the new 1 will have a better interior and more power too. For the $$$, the Corvette is an awesome car.

I owned a 1989 Vette (new) and never had a problem with the car. I thought the car was tight and had a great fit and finish. A friend of mine has a 1995 Chevy pick-up with 100k miles he has never been to the dealer for service. He replace the windshield and fixed a broken driver seat himself. On the other had I sat in a 2000 Escalade with 58k miles and it looked like the car was 10 years old I guess not all GM cars are good but there a few worth driving.

The car is 1 inch narrower and 5-6 inches shorter and wheel base is longer.
