Re: Motor Trend Has It!!!

The Polycarbonate hood window is not only ugly in my opinion, but also not very practical over the long term. Polycarbonate typically tends to 'swirl' easily, craze and potentially become 'foggy' over time. Then again, many of these cars will end up in a garage, a plastic bubble or kept under cover in the back corner of a hanger or warehouse somewhere and rarely be driven, if ever.

Of course, GM probably doesn't consider it ugly, but rather unique. It's certainly unique to the ZR1 and it's also certainly one of the reasons they did it, as I doubt many, if anyone, will buy one of those hoods for their C6, whereas if it didn't have the window, they likely would. That is assuming of course they fit and will be available.
