Here's 2 years old video of Corvette concept cars from the Corvette 50th anniversary held at the Nashville Coliseum, which I accidentally found on the youtube.com. It appears to be interesting:)

2008 Fireblade Concept Corvette
The Corvette ZR1 was lacking anything. It’s got the whole package - the power, looks, and even a (relatively) decent price tag. Apparently South African designer Idries Noah saw something much more and came up with his incredible design using the ZR1 as a platform. 
If you recognize the name, it’s because Idries also came up with the unofficial Ferrari F250 Concept that we drooled over back in December. His latest design, dubbed the Fireblade, takes inspiration from the Stingray Corvette, Gillet Vertigo, and Shelby Daytona. Like the ZR1 Corvette, it features the supercharged LS9 V8 displayed for the world to see under the clear portion of the hood. 
The result is a very attractive combination, and it’s a shame that the car exists only in the digital world. Perhaps, like the Vandenbrink 599 GTO, enough people with excessive amounts of discretionary income will be interested in the design enough to consider a production version. 
Idries Noah: "It's been a while but I'm finally done with the new concept. It's totally different to the F250. I decided to go for a front engine rear wheel drive setup. It needed to be a brute, a car that has muscle car qualities. It needed to reflect raw power yet not be vulgar. With a 6.1 L Supercharged V8 under the bonnet it's guaranteed to be properly quick." 
Compare it with the other Concept Chevrolet Corvette Z03.

Similar in appearance to "Ugur Sahin Design" earlier Ferrari Dino Concept, the new Corvette Z03 is based on the much cheaper Chevrolet Corvette Z06 although with that car's proven motorsports record, it shouldn't prove to be too much of a step down.
Undeniably still a Corvette, the Ugur Sahin Z03 manages to successfully update design elements from classic Chevrolet Corvettes of the past including the twin rear lights and the razor-edged panels of the Sting Ray.
Some Ferrari-like design elements have understandably also crept in such as the twin air scoops in the nose and the side vents behind the front wheel arches.
As well as the exterior, further changes have been made to the interior and, more importantly, the Corvette's V8 powerplant. There will be three engine choices in total, ranging from a hardly inconsiderable 500bhp to a mind-blowing 750bhp, which easily trumps the range-topping Corvette ZR1's 628bhp.
The Z03 will also come in at up to 50kg lighter than the standard Corvette and thanks to involvement from former Chevy Corvette chief engineer Dave McLellan should be good for go as well as show. Further details will be released in March with an ambitious target of delivery to customers by the end of the year.

Chevrolet Corvette Z03 Concept
Chevrolet Corvette Z03 is one of the first projects that came from "Ugur Sahin Design", which was formed by Axel van Mourik and Ugur Sahin in the summer of 2007.
The Corvette Z03 is actually the first in what the company intends to be a series of high-end, high-performance limited edition vehicles based on existing cars. 
"Ugur Sahin Design" teamed up with suppliers such as Flybrid Systems, Modesi Design, Fischer Motorsports and Kirkham Motorsports on the Corvette Z03 Concept.
The last time "Ugur Sahin Design" was widely discussed, it was for a gorgeous modern Ferrari Dino rendering that had us hoping for a production version.
"Ugur Sahin Design" plans to put the Corvette Z03 Concept into production by the end of 2008 and deliver 100 cars.
