Just saw the headline on Yahoo today. Terrible rear lights. Since they are using the LS7 motor for this car Corvette should have a pretty good upgrade to the Stingray also.

Looks nice. I agree rear lights are horrible but since the Vette has them now I guess they had to make a change lol.

I think the lights are a bit improvement, but I was never was a fan of the current 5th gen rear.

That's the best looking 10+ to date in my book. I think the rear lights look just fine. That front splitter/******* snow plow looks a little F&F, but other than that, I'm liking the car. The seats are pretty cool too.

The front looks a bit CTSV ish to me. Just the overall shape.

I don't really care for the taillights.

Overall, its not bad.

While the Boss and the Z28 are sort of built for the same purpose, the Z28 is built to perform at a much higher level than the Boss.

I think they are trying to get back to the original style.

The heat extractor is functional. It's going to be on all Camaros, not just the Z28.
