Like it except the rear.

What are the ducts over the rear wheels for?

Yes - what Juan says. Hopefully the rear will look better than in pictures.

What's the point in a manual gearbox that has a computer that matches revs? Why not just surrender and get the automatic then? Who's kidding whom? I'll keep my old-fashioned manual transmission and match my own revs, thank you very much, even if it is slower to do it that way.
Otherwise, I kinda like the new 'vette.

Believe me I hear ya! Then again, cup cars match revs automatically these days.
It's like PDK, sure it's faster but it's not for everyone's taste and needs.

The rear does look kinda batmobilish, I guess I am old school on design, change for the sake of change rather than modification of the original design will this new look be seen as old in ten years rather than classic? that's why I have always been and continue to be a fan of the 911 timeless design.

I wonder if the Active Rev Matching can be disabled, for those of us that can actually handle it on our own.....

I think the **** end could use some work.....
