Cranky, that full side scoop is part of the Corvette "signature" , starting with the first ones. Much like the one on a Mustang ,only the Mustangs is on the rear fender, in front of the wheel. The Cobras side scoop is higher up on the fender and doesn't blend in behind the front body work. Leaving it like the 'Vette, it just screams GM. The one on the new car is too low, look where the one on your car is, up high. I do realise this is just what I'm seeing, but I have years of experience studying design(mainly sculpture, female nudes).
