    If you are saying someone is getting fired for these photos getting leaked then you are sorely mistaken. They were pusposely "leaked" by GM to drum up the desire and interest in the upcoming model.

    GM never leaks photos of their cars. ESPECIALLY not corvettes! My dad works for GM and he says no one was supposed to see that, only the people in the design group.

    Imagine if you were working on a car for GM and photos leaked after months or years of work. You really look forward to the main debut.

    Trust me, it was purposely leaked. Your dad doesn't know everything.

    He probably knows how to talk to a female, though.

    Regards to the car...meh...

    Not a much of a fan.

    Especially if they go to that stupid DOHC, high revving, 4.blahblah VERY small block V8 with direction injection, AFM, etc. CAFE standards are raping car companies now...can't wait for the 2016 minimum's to come into effect and the Corvette has to get comparable mileage to say...an automatic Cruze.

    Yay, America.

    Not.

    Haha yea.. it shouldn't effect the Camaro or Corvette too much I hope, cuz they just have to have an average over their entire fleet i believe.

    You think they are going to use the LS9 in the 2014/15 ZR1?

    IMO I think it needs to look more..American I guess, for lack of a better word. It still looks like a Corvette don't get me wrong but it looks like they are moving in the wrong direction. I guess they have to modernize it but I'd go back to the old tails and I'm undecided on those alien/bug-eye headlights. I'm sure some of you will disagree, but to each their own!
