Car is going to be amazing, I love the look but they are showing the zo6/zr1 variant. The base car be tamed down. I had a c6 and the looks were a little bland for me. A well modded Z06 is sharp looking but a base c6 is very boring. I may have to sell the Grand National to make room in the garage for a C7.

Not a fan of these types of car mags...so,..take this for what its worth.

The rendering,...is ******* ugly.

Looks like a 599, a GTR had sex @ a car and driver party....and this is the buttugly result.


It won't look that bad...

I like the side profile. It will be interesting to see how close these pictures are to the real thing.

The profile shot looks very similar to the late 70's/very early 80's corvettes. It could be the slight curvature from the side skirts/bottom of the car though....

Rear end looks terrible, can't believe GM did away with the classic Vette rear tail lights. And +1 for it looking like a 370Z. The roofline back is a spitting image of it, barf looks like a Datsun.
