Default C7's looks like they are here.

I jumped up to the C7 forum and see that some of the folks there got their new toys.

Getting more jealous now. I still like my monthly payment more -0- (assuming they are making payments). If not, I'm a huge green eyed monster!!! Notice I did not comment on the parts/resto/maint payments.

Wow! The pics that I'm seeing, are even better, then the factory or magazine pics I've seen! The side-by-sixe shot with the C6, from behind are a real eye-opener. I dig the C6's but the C7 looks like the school yard bully, next to it!

Nice cars, but to be honest I like the looks of the C3. A C3 is repairable. 20 years from now those C7's will be fun to work on.

They are definitely the badest Corvette yet. And when you consider the level of technology and everything else the Corvette is still a great value compared to the cars the C-7 can compete with. I would love to have one. But the C-3 and older will always be my favorite Vettes.

I'm envious of the new C7 owners too. I can only imagine their excitement when they finally get behind the wheel and drive their car for the first time.

He's bringing to his 'other home', rich people problems.

Considering the amount of bitching already about "QC" issues with cars being shipped to TN, dealers not knowing what's going on; and apparently CEL's on cars already.......seems like some growing pains.

Hi,
Don't want to be a 'downer', but in the picture with the 2 red cars side by side, doesn't the new car look quite like the old car, but with crisper lines and more elaborate add on trim?
Sorry!
Regards,
Alan

I have to admit I like them both. I really like the red and black interior on C7

Not a downer at all! I'd venture, that there's always going to be a common 'Theme' to any ongoing Corvette design.

My neighbor has a C5 and a C6 in the garage and a C7 due in sometime in the next two weeks. He is selling the C5 convertible with less than 20,000 miles on it. I wish I had the spare $$ to buy it.

The C7 is growing on me. I like the looks from all angles except the rear. Dunno if I'll ever be able to like the rear, though.

Get notified of new replies

To C7's looks like they are here.

I said that very same thing to a girl friend many, many years ago.
