The green area gets my vote as a positive hail back to the C3 nose...
The red circled nostril is too F430 and needs to be changes to be Corvette correct and not detract from the overall appeal - because people will just say "Man that looks like an F430 instead appreciating the whole design.
The fenders are so tall as to look unbalanced... to thick from most angles.
And if is based on the C6, why the C5 type badge?

Although, the Corvette came along time before the 8C so perhaps the 8C looks too much like a Corvette.

Exactly my point when you say certain bits look straight from a Ferrari. The main design component was originally on the vette, they've just updated the look and it happens to look like Ferrari vents

I say stay away from anything too stingray-esque . . . that's just asking for the second malaise

Which in turn means everyone says "uh - its just an F430 ripoff" and all their design effort is wasted
