Quite an improvement. I thought it was the LeMan Prototype that Chevy showed off teaser pics a few years back.

Sure looks better than the usual fugly beasts that populate the Grand Am.

maybe you guys see something I don't, but to me it's still a prototurd and fugly to boot. :confused: :eek: :confused:

Really?

Compared to this the "vette" is a thing of beauty.

Artists' impressions always leave me wondering................what cheap drugs the artist was on when he drew the picture 'cus the real thing doesn't look like the impression.

Does the old phase "2-bar-9" come into play here??? :o

[Au Rouge]

Same old, same old, with a Mosler front end.

[Watson Roadster]

That's a fairly nice looking race car,and seeing as the ALMS is virtually moribund,not a moment too soon!!!
