Default Credit to Jalopnik for 1st C7 Pics....

Seeing the C7 spy photos yesterday was thrilling for sure, we love our Corvette and wonder what great things are next.

When Jalopnik posting their renderings many had doubted they even saw the car.....

The wheels alone speak volumes to their post back in November.

BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank goodness that goofy spoiler doesnt appear to be part of the deal.

I gotta say, I'm glad I got my C6, C7 looks too busy to me. Don't care for the Ferrariesque quarter windows and backlight either. To each his own...

Yep, looks like that could be the car they saw…question is: Will that be the car GM produces in 2013 (2014 MY)?

It's close, but I'll wait to give them credit until the actual C7 is released and looks like their renderings.

It's going to be very similar, but renderings are always a bit more exaggerated.

It'll have many of the same lines, but likely smoothed out a bit and more subtle.

????Or did GM go find some wheels that look similar to the Jalopnik renderings amoung other similar details on the spy photos to give us all a slap in the forehead????
The Halo in the spy photos are quite different than the renderings.

This will be fun to watch just like the C6 was!

ZR1 version in the drawing.

So unless they are testing a C7 ZR1 in the spy photo, then a simple swap of body panels might end up being enough to create a clone ZR1 from the base car. Same as with the C6

Seriously...why do squared lights suck so much more than just large round lights?
