[DeTomaso] Corvette C8, yay or nay?

I think the C8 looks pretty good from the front and sides, but yes the rear
end is too Camaro-like, and way too "busy!"
Pretty cool car both performance-wise and price-wise. (60K, but even if one
adds about 10K in options which most would want, like a Z-51 package, still
a pretty good deal!)
I mean it's like getting a 458 for 70k!
Would LOVE it if Ford did a reasonably priced GT40 - the most beautiful car
ever made IMHO (60's version that is). Pantera very, very close 2nd!
Would much rather buy that.
But 1 important factor - I would NEVER BUY the first year of a new
generation Vette. Especially something as different as a mid-engined total
redo!
Maaaaaaaaaaybe in the 3rd year of production?! And a Z06 version.
(Did I use enough exclamation points?)
My $0.02

So, is this the Pantera site, or the Corvette - I'm kinda confused.
That's been my complaint about the C7 and now the C8 Vettes - I hate the
rear end - Camaro:YES!!!
I how have a 2011 Vette GS, and have owned "three" Panteras -
waiting/lusting for the new Pantera, but it's out of my price range.
And, new, modern cars have too much computer crap that constantly (seems
like) pops up warning windows on the dashboard.
Hard core Pantera owners are lucky/blessed to break out their tool boxes and
go to it.

Yeah, not thrilled with the rear. Still looks better than the P72 rear
though. :-P
