C6Z is pure sex... My new favorite car without a question. If the ZR1 gets made I can't even imagine what its going to look like! WELL DONE Chevy!





Found my new background!

I imagine if it's gonna be under $100k w/ every option box checked, the base price has to be $80k-$85k. Incredible car for the money.

Looks like the leaked pics were right, we saw the Z06 a year ago.

Not crazy about the base Stingray but this is very nice! It'll probably be very expensive (especially after you factor in options), but compared to what this car will compete with this will likely be a pretty good bargain.

The simple ZO6 formula we've been used to for the past decade is certainly gone now.

It seems more like an updated ZR1 more than anything else.

Not diggin' the tail lights just yet. Otherwise, this is the typically incredibly beautiful Corvette(ZO6).

I love the tail lights, especially in person...they add a lot of depth to the design

Have you seen a C7 in person yet? The tail lights are a lot "deeper" than they appear in pictures. It looks a lot better than the original renderings everyone freaked out about.

I wish they would have had it in a different color! It looks much better than the base car, but not as much like the C7R as I would like it to ha.

Are you sure you saw that? The current Z06 is over $100k with every option, I would assume this is going to have a base price right at $100k.

A fully loaded C7 weighs just under 3500lbs, so I have a felling this is going to be around 3600lbs with the supercharger, massive brakes, added aero, and bigger wheels/tires. The 2013 Z06 was 3175lbs, so roughly 400lbs gained.

They should have just bumped the power up and called this the ZR1! Other than the aero it's nothing like a Z06 should be (heavy, auto, supercharger). I'm not saying it isn't going to destroy pretty much everything on the road, because it will, it's just not what the Z06 should be.
