That C-7 looks FANTASTIC!!!

Funny though, the C-7 looks like a 1/24 scale model, while the ZR-1 looks like a 1/25 scale model.
I thought our Z's were big!
But it does look GOOD!!!

IMHO the old Z looks great in comparison. Considering the C4 design harkens back half way to Corvette's beginning, 1953-83...1983-13.

The 53' looked like a quaint antique next to the "new" C4 in 83'. However that ZR-1, by comparison, looks almost contemporary to the C7.

Demps,

What a HUGE score!!! By itself, the C7 looked small when I saw it in Chicago, but in a perspective w the ZR-1, it's appreciably larger.
Those are just awesome pics. Unfortunate they're in the dirt. What did the Chevy guys think? This should make the cover of the buff books IMO.

I'm sure there will be a wide body C7 version in a few years. It is going to awesome. Great pics

now I see why the black diffuser. If it was body colored, that *** would look huge compared to the ZR-1

Sweet pics! The C7 does look kinda chunky compared to the C4. I really like the way the red seats pop in your white Z.

C7 looks sharp and I cant' wait to see one in person. I'ld love to have one if I had the extra $$$. The lines on the ZR-1 are timeless, I appreciate the C4's clean lines against the 5,6,7 more busier designs.
