Unfortunately, that red one looks like a modded up ricer! I guess I applaud Chrysler and GM for trying. Why can't they just design these cars without those ugly blunt nose and tail ends. I'm so glad I owned the real McCoys, I thought the '70, '71 Challengers were very good looking cars, same with the '69 Camaro, absolutely the best looking ever.

I think that is the intent of the red one. If the car is to appeal to many different people, they need to offer as much variety as possible.

Well, I certainly wish GM and Chevrolet the best of luck with it. I just won't be among those in line to order one.

Looks like a pair of hands is still adding tape striping behind the rear wheels - 'STEP BACK'!!!

The stripes are just "test tape". The other side of the car has a different hockey stick stripe than the one in this picture. They are just trying out different looks and so this does not mean that all the stripes you see here will be available together or even available at all.

It's a prototype picture.
Which means it's still in early stages of development.
This is not uncommon as for decades engineers in the design studios usually split the vehicle down the center and try out various trim/option/paint scheme ideas.

I have a feeling that the Z/28 model is going to embarass a few guys with the 6 figure musclecars!
