My thoughts exactly, I was able to see the Stingray in person....it's just soooooo captivating to just look at. I mean, I must have stood out there for a good 15-20 min just looking and taking pictures of the beautiful car. The hood pic featured here seems a tad huge though. I don't remember the Stingray being that large, and I was pretty much standing next to it. That or that guy is very tiny.

But so what if the car is tiny....still just as appealing, even if I can't fit into it ha ha ha....
Laters,
Josh

Yeah they need make a production line of it stat! It totally looks like the Mach 5 from speed racer, if you put the right colors on it you'd totally see it with right paint job. (though Id prefer silver anyways.)

I've never had that probelm Josh, I'll gladly take it off your hands hehe. As a wolverine sized guy(5'4"), it's perfect. I might need a shorter girlfriend though, since she complains same thing cars being too small/or low to ground at 6'4". Sorry baby, I going out with Sideswipe to score some honeys and damn are we good. (I kid I kid, please don't slag me.)

It's a sweet ride, I'd like see more of it and Sideswipe in the next movie for sure.

They only made the car for the ROTF.Don't get why they paid so much money to make a car for a movie when they will not make it..waste of money and advertisement. Then again it is Chevy..they obviously like wasting money. Anyways, question is this..think he will become a real Corvette? Or what Chevy do you think he will be? Possible he may stay the same, but who knows. They obviously won't make him what he is suppose to be.

The cars sole purpose was not just for ROTF. It was a concept car already in the process of being built that they decided to use as a character.
99% of concept cars no matter who the manufacturer is are never put into production. There are a few exceptions (Chevy Camaro, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Viper, Chrysler Prowler) There purpose is to gage interest in new designs as well as new technology. Though you'll probably never see This exact Corvette go to production, you might start seeing similar design cues such as the real lights or gull wing doors in future Corvette models. It all depends on the public's reaction. The ford mustang took its design ques heavily from its concept back in 03'.
Also this will be great advertisement for GM. People will instantly recognise it as the "car from transformers". So it won't be the waste of money that you seem to think it is.

If they would of had this one in the movie I'm sure they would of sold a few more of these. This is just an opinion. I don't like Sideswipe being Silver, so I would rather this, or a red stingray at least.

At least this thing really does exist. It's a ZR1 Corvette. Starts around $100,000.00!


A better color is this custom color redish here: http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette-zr1/pictures/

I personally like this better than the Stingray. If the Stingray was a little more aggressive looking then I wouldn't care. The thing I just don't like is the Silver. Just feels like the transformers are all like power rangers now. They all have to be completely different colors.

Metal Monkey wrote: I wouldn't say made only for transformers, but that is what the rumor is going around in all the car mags. Car and driver..and such. I do think it is possible they may make it. The demand is there.

Metal Monkey wrote:I only think it is a waste of money if they decide not to make it. Now that the Camaro is out...Corvette sales have been and are hurting. They need to do something to bring it out of the fire...it would be a waste of money if they did nothing with that stingray. Advertising a concept such as being in Transformers with no intention of making it.....that is dumb.

Which is it?

Waste of money? You obviously don't understand the premises of a concept car. Just because they don't build the complete concept car, does not mean its a waste. As i said in a previous post, 99% of concept cars never see the light of day. The purpose of them are to gauge interest in new designs and technologies. To give the public something to talk about. So while you may, or may not see the stingray in the next few years, you can bet that you will see some design aspects make it into the C7 Corvette designs.

Metal Monkey wrote: Ya I apologize for the confusion. I read a few articles that said it was only made for the movie. After that I stumbled upon some actually GM statements that said other wise. Totally my fault.

Metal Monkey wrote:By a waste of money I mean it is a waste of money to advertise a car that is not being made, when they could of advertised a car that is not seen much and made money off of it. Like the ZR1 Corvette. Many people haven't seen one of the newer ones.

Metal Monkey wrote: For example: They have sold many "Bummblebee package" Camaros because of the movie. People just have the ones they see in the movie.(Sadly I don't think this worked out for the (Ironhide package".) Does that make sense?
