I actually think it looks pretty interesting, some crazy lines and design, not in love with the front but the back and side profile is appealling...

sure it may not look the nicest but can you really argue with


The use of the lightweight materials meant designers were able to shave almost 250lb from the kerb weight of the already lightweight ZR1. Furthermore, aerodynamic aids similar to the ones used in F1 sees the Mantide feature 25% less drag and 30% more downforce than the ZR-1 on which it’s based. The end result is a 0-60mph time of 3.5 seconds and a top speed in excess of 200mph. Unfortunately, no production plans have been revealed yet.

"Mantide" ???

Imagine a friend of yours walks up to you in a bar and says to you "Hey wanna look at my mantide?" I bet the last thing that you think of is a corvette.

I like parts of it. But that ass-end looks horrible with that weird triangular design.

Overall, I think the idea was to reduce drag more than it was to create a standard, safe design....
