Love the way you car looks. Is your car lowered Yorgaki1? The C7 looks great but looks like a truck compared to the C6 in height. Though I think the hood is playing some tricks with my eyes.

Pictures really don't do these Corvettes justice, especially Stingrays. I'm sure in person it'll all look beautiful and cohesive.

The C7Z stage 3 package looks hideous from the front and rear. The stage 1 front looks a little better but still has the 2 herpes sticking out. Overall, GM really ****ed up on the C7 design. Way to busy. There is a reason the C6Z sold way better then the C7Z is when it was released.

I love my C6 Z06 but the C7 Z06 looks exotic in comparison.

two things really bother me on the c7z. first is the front fenders. the plastic extension around the wheel well is just terrible in my opinion. the c6z wins hands down in that area. plus that plastic over time will look like all the exterior plastic on gm cars, crappy. second is the headlamps not matching body color. on some colors it looks good, on others not so good. i havent warmed up to the front of the c7's but do like the rear .

hope your friend enjoys his new c7z as much as i enjoy my c6z. all corvettes are cool!

Both are really nice looking cars! I love my C6 Z07, but I must say the C7 Z07 is killer! I still think the rear lights suck, but the wider stance makes it look much better and they are putting down very strong Dyno numbers, especially the torque. I would own one...in a second, I just wont pay MSRP or more...I will wait a while...

That C7ZO6 is a Super Beast..GM nailed the design. Can't wait until they get the first year issues corrected

The performance of the new z is undeniable but i cant get over the back end and the full aero package is brutal. It looks way better with the smaller splitter, spoiler. the car has so much going on its starts to look cheap. Yes its looks futuristic and im sure its performance numbers will be great - but not enough for me to switch yet.
though ready to upgrade my 10 gmc yukon denali which i love , GM held the same style from 06 to 14 their new style is very square and i cant stand the look. Thats the same reason i cant upgrade my DD yet.. Just not feeling it

Not a fan either of the C7Z. Too tall, too tight inside, C4 driver centric cockpit and those taillights.. FAIL. I'll wait for the Zora whenever it gets built.

Question... Are those GS stripes added onto the C6Z?

It looks badass in a really bad cheesy hotwheelz futuristic concept car type way.

Is it possible that you and your friend could do a video of around 7 pulls to 160 MPH?

I still like the C6 better. Maybe the C7Z will look better with time. Just too much stuff on the C7Z that looks like it was just glued on as an afterthought. Now after being whooped by a Viper and the overheating issues on the track I just don't know if I will be trading my 13Z in for one?

I expect to fully warm up to the C7Z when it weighs 3100lbs and revs to 7000rpm making 600HP from a large cube V8 stock.

I usually look for the flaws in most things, so here it goes.....I still can't get past the fact that GM went the cheap route and used that stupid looking plastic fender/wheel lip on the front, instead of widening the fenders like they did with the C6Z. That and the rear spoiler....my god, I don't care how much down force it creates, it looks freaking hideous.
