Why did GM go with following the asians?  They suck!

I meant the looks (in response to "it looks a bit ricey")
The Vette will always be better than "sakie suckers"

I actually think the new vette looks more like the new Viper than anything else.  The lights, "mouth" grill thing, and hood all have lines that look like a viper to me.  I think this is especially true for the Z06 with its small air intake on the hood.  Anyway, I sure see a resemblence.

John, that is totally awesome! I always wondered if you did Sake potting and that is some real nice work!!
What are you running?  350CI's of potting clay? What RPM's are you peaking at when the mold is ready to fold?  ::)

Love the Texture and color. Is that 1986 Corvette Yellow,  mixed with 1 pint of pastel brown # 6. That is what my headers looked like when I first turned my 327ci over.

Did you bring that model to Japan when you were there recently?

Maybe the designers at GM were having a little bit of sake when they designed the Vette.  Or maybe they decided that it would be nice if their cars all looked the same and had the same engine? ::)

All the major compaines do that, its not like its a GM thing.  In fact, the first company to start making all their cars look the same and use the same engine was Ford.

As for the 'Vette, it's a shame they spent millions redesigning the thing then put a Camaro hoodscoop on it...  ::)
