The older Protos we've all seen, but they're still sweet, with a lot of the ideas put into production. At least the older designers were allowed to be wild.

As for the "C3R"...not so much...
Think about it like this...if someone took a stock bumper car, and modified it to look like that, most of ya would be pickin it to pieces.
For ME, it just don't look gud....sorry.

That C3R is one sweet lookin' machine, complete with chrome bumpers fore and aft.  I'll take one.  I agree that that is what the C6 shoulda looked like.

I got a pic of me standing next to the 68 Astro Vette from a few years ago. The car, in it's present condition, is sad. They haven't really kept it up very well. Then again, it was never meant to still be around 40 years later...

The XP700 was re-done into the first Mako Shark, so in reality, BOTH of those cars are still around...which is good!
