It took you this long to see a C7 in person?

My 6 year old was in the passenger seat of my Z06 the other day and we pulled up next to a Nissan GTR. I asked my son which car he thought looked better, the Z06 or the GTR.

He thought about it and asked, "which one is faster?"

I said, "for most people, they'll be faster in the GTR."

He said, "Then I like the GTR more... I don't care how it looks, it just has to be faster."

I'm not wild about the aesthetics of the C7, but when we're talking about the C7 Z06, performance trumps looks and I'll happily live with the looks.

Same boat here: C6Z grabbed me immediately. I have to reserve final judgement until I see it in the flesh, but it doesn't look like the C7 wears its wide body as well as the C6.

I think the C7 is okay...

I absolutely wouldn't trade my C6 ZR1 for one even if GM came out with "the rumored" 750hp TT'ed C7 ZR1.

The styling of the C7 just don't grab me enough to take the obvious technology/performance jump.

Now when the C6Z came out, I owned a C5Z and just had to have the C6Z (so I bought one)...

Not the case this time with the C7Z.

The C7 looks good in certain colors and from certain angles. I don't like how they tacked on all the stuff for the C7Z. Looks way too busy. My opinion may change when I see it in person though.
