While it can be argued that the current Corvette is the best ever built, there are those who would say the C6 (http://autos.aol.com/cars-Chevrolet-Corvette-2009/overview) is, well, homogenized. Safe. Boring, even, at least in the looks department.
Christian Cyrulewski (http://www.c3retro.com/) would be among those who are visually disinterested in the current Corvette. But instead of grousing about it over a beer or six with the local Corvette club, he's taken matters into his own hands and come up with the C3R (http://www.c3retro.com/). In his words, that stands for "third-generation retro Corvette based on the sixth-generation (C6) platform."
Christian's website (http://www.c3retro.com/) is short on details but rife with renderings of a curvaceous custom Corvette based on the latest platform out of Bowling Green. Top Speed says Christian plans to cruise the Woodward Dream Cruise (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/WoodwardDreamCruise/) next year in a C3R prototype, and if there's enough interest, could offer a kit version of the car. Like your retro-styled muscle cars with actual muscle? Top Speed says Christian also plans a 427-powered version of the kit complete with side pipes. No word yet on pricing, availability, or, heck, validity of the C3R, but we'll keep ya posted.
