I have to say, it is a bit disappointing how high the FT86 hood and front fenders got relative to the show cars. I think it must be due to strut front suspension. C7 Corvette hood and fenders appear to be *way* lower, and presumably have to meet the same stupid "pedestrian impact" regs as the 86, with a taller/higher motor.

Still, overall the car looks fantastic, but when I get one to replace my s2000, I think it's going to have to come down by at least an inch based purely on aesthetics.

I was hoping for the 86 hood/fenders would have been closer to the S2000:
