Okay folks, thanks for dialing it back. Everyone here has a right to their opinion!

As far as iconic, it's hard to imagine anything is more iconic than the original 53 - 54. Or the first V8 Corvette.
I agree that the C2 is the best looking of the bunch, but I'd put the C7 head and shoulders above any of the other cars with round (or oval, or rectangular) tail lights.

The 53-59 are nice, but I don’t like the bloated trunks and the single headlight up front. The Stingray rear-end and dual headlights of the 61-62 were much better looking in my opinion.

I recall Tadge saying that the NY Mary Barra car was one of their earliest C8 test cars. It seems like no two test cars are identical, with some older ones getting newer updates and others staying with older lights etc. And camo steadily being removed or changed.
Even the earliest cars had the production 4 squared exhaust tips yet this car has fabricated single tip exhaust pipes. That makes me think of the nighttime video from Sebring with the unique and loud screaming exhaust note. The speculation then was that it was a flat plane crank V8, some even thought it sounded like a V6. We didn’t see that car in the daylight but it obviously did not have the stock mufflers. Seeing the non-production exhaust in these new pics makes me wonder if this is the car that was screaming around Sebring that night. Perhaps one of the future engines beyond 2020.

True, but the most beautiful and most iconic vettes had round lights. What was once old becomes new again. One day, corvette will get round lights again. Let’s just hope the corvette lives long enough to see that day again.

All who are doubting the size of the 2020 C8’s frunk, rest assured you will have a grin from ear to ear on just that issue alone.

We've seen shots of the cars on the road with the brake lights showing through the camo, and shots of the C8.R on the track at night. Both show the same angular light design, not round. While it's possible GM went to the trouble of designing and manufacturing fake sets of taillights for all these cars just to trick us, it seems unlikely. I think round taillights have been sent to the dustbin of history. Today's stylists are enamored of "interesting" shapes that integrate into the design / shape of the back end of a car, not just round holes. Besides, Corvettes haven't always had 4 round tail lights. The '53 and '54 had just one round light per side. The '56 through '60 had "ovalish" lights integrated into the rear fender. The quad round lights didn't start until 1960. And the C4 had rectangular lights, and the C5 oval ones, so there's lots of history of Corvettes without 4 round tail lights.

I will be looking first at ACS Composites. They always have great hood designs, and their quality is unparalleled IMO. I have some of their components on my current Corvette — as does several of my friends.
