There's a sucker born every minute....

Why don't they just make a special edition where they put a cobalt body kit on the vette? That way, your vette looks like a sleeper. 16" wheels, single fart cannon exhaust, and a wheel gap the size of Texas. Sweet.

. . . And if you buy now, we'll throw in this handy-dandy Corvette logo pen, Corvette underwear, and Corvette brand body spray!

Darth,

when I read the headline, I swore that I was going to find out that I'd be getting either a valueable coupon book or a knife sharpener along with my Ronco Showtime™ Six Star +™ Cutlery.

Thanks for nothing.....

Jeff

It's apparent that some of the recent early retirements are already having an impact on products.

I don't think it looks bad, but if all it is, is some stickers on an otherwise normal Corvette, then shame on them if they try and sell it for any sort of premium price or as any sort of collector's item. They're really watering down the Corvette's heritage and clout by doing that.

I kinda like the look... but I wouldn't pay much more than, say, $100, to get it on a new Corvette.

Shhhh. Don't tell people about the Corbalt. That's what I drive. I also got the extra sleeper package that includes steelies with 49 cent wheelcovers.
