Maybe the C5 & C6's look "American" and "Domestic", but that's not cutting it. They build an amazing supercar in the C6 and give it ho-hum everyday looks. Then they build an asphalt destroying beast in the zr1, charge a grip and expect people to flock?
There's a reason Ferrari's and Lambo's look the way they do. They SCREAM exotic. The SCREAM supercar and desirable. The soft, collaborative, homogenized aesthetic of the Vette needs to change.
Hell, the Lotus Elise gets more love than a C6 Z06, in my neck of the woods and that little slot car is NOTHING.

A Corvette should not look like a super powerful exotic car like the others you listed.
You know why Ferrari's and Lamborghini's look the way they do? They are reflections of the cars heritage, where it comes from. The Corvette is, has been, and forever will be distinctly American. If a Corvette looked like a Ferrari it wouldn't look like a Corvette, but a Ferrari wanna be. It would be trashed worldwide for simply chasing European manufacturer's tails. The Lotus, a Gallardo, and an F450 all look exotic to us because they are foreign.
The Corvette is probably considered exotic in most European ares. Doing what you're suggesting would take away from everything the Corvette is. America's world beating super car.
