do you think it could possibly come in under 3000 lbs?

Zero chance.

My one complaint, like the rest of America, is the rearend/taillights, but even still, it's a very good looking car. Is this the full production model or late prototype? If late prototype, hopefully they de-Camaro the back a bit. I bet it looks much better in person though. The interior sure is improved too! It's nice to see some bolstered seats finally and a dash not lifted straight from an econobox.

This is the final prototype, so it should be 99% production. I wish they would have kept the round taillights, but I am alright with what they did. They need a little more body color down in the splitter area in the back.

Hopefully this will drive the price of the C5's down to the C4 levels...upgrade coming soon for this guy then!

I wonder how much effect these will have on C6Z's they are already one of the best bangs for the buck out there.

I am loving the new vette, looks great.

Would be a tough call between a c6 z and this. Can't wait to see one in person.

Looks sick! I wish I knew more about the motor. Still pushrod?

Pretty sure its still pushrod. There was a big article on the motor itself somewhere, had a full breakdown, seemed pretty cool.

Push rod, direct injection, 11.5:1, variable cam timing and cylinder deactivation. They are saying 28mpg and 450/450.

Chassis pic, all aluminum.
