Sideswipe Corvette on Transformers 3 Set

Michael Bay has ratcheted up the filming on Transformers 3 in the Chicago area. This means three things: there is a lot of traffic, there are a lot of explosions, and tons of people are playing amateur cinematographer and getting footage of the filming process. This footage means that the youtube-using masses may be witness to the glory that is a Michael Bay set day. What this includes is: lots of explosions, lots of gunshots, lots of explosions, lots of hot cars, lots of explosions, and some super models. Thankfully, amidst all of the explosions (and seeming lack of actual acting) there are the cars, which are beautiful and exciting. Among those cars is the Sideswipe Corvette, which looks a) crazy and b) awesome. It's a wild, almost alien looking, prototype C6 Stingray Corvette Convertible, and it's a pretty hot car. The images of it driving around the city (with a 448 Ferrari, the Bumblebee Camaro, and some other cool cars) are a ton of fun, and make me almost want to see Transformers 3. Almost. I imagine it will continue with the precedent set in Transformers 2 and become less understandable, less concerned with silly thing like plot and acting performances, and more about cars/girls/explosions. Of course, cars/girls/explosions are some of my favorite things, and make for a generally winning formula. Good sneak peeks of the Corvette/Girls/Explosions below:
