With all due respect, the monetary support surely helps but when you throw it around like a badge of honor it makes you look "snobbish". YMMV.

I have a question for the forum. Is this forum non profit? Truthfully, I assumed the advertisers supported this form. God's honest truth, I don't know the lay of the land here.
I am impressed by St Judes. charity by the percentage that actually goes to charity !!

The spoiler looks like it was stuck on and that is the only thing that really bothers me. I am so glad that the bottom half is black as opposed to body colour, because that just makes the back end.
Never really cared about the shape of the tail lights.

The back looks very good, but I hope the center doesn't stick out too far, or the pod where the tailpipes are isn't too heavy looking.

I agree 100% that rear end is sexy , I will be honest I was a little skeptical on the rear but this picture of the rear is fabulous , it's all about the proportions on car design and gm hit a home run with this vette . Cheers

Hope you younger and new older corvette owners have the money for this thing.
Lots are not going to like it for a couple of model years, till they clean it up like the
C4.
So many may wet there pants for it, but do they have the money to buy it ??????????

@texvette2: But...the C4 was never cleaned up. It got a small facelift (er...tail lift?) after 1992, but it still remained pretty much the same. It's hard to clean up a design that is inherently and purposefully clean.
While I like the C7 as a package, I also feel like it's a bit gaudy. I understand they went all aero on it, but aero doesn't sell cars. Especially with most of us younger guys (not necessarily me), you need to have killer looks. All they need to know is that this car performs well and better than what the majority of their peers are driving; from what I gathered in conversation the specifics don't count for much outside of the horsepower figure.

It's a relief to finally see undisguised images of the front and rear. The Jalopnik, etc. renderings were starting to scare me, but the new pics look aggressive and purposeful, the start of a whole new era for Corvette. I can see now that the whole C7 will just be stunning in looks. Plus, the C7 is about a lot more than looks, so Tadge and Co, will have sweated all the details to make this all-new wondercar ride, handle, steer, shift, brake and scoot like no Vette ever. Maybe like no other sportscar ever!

Really? If you don't like Corvettes then go to another thread. If you have to bad mouth the car go some place where people care what you think. You have the right to say anything you want. Free country. It might go over better if you go where people give a s about what you have to criticize.
I get fed up with critics who obviously are not true Corvette fans . You are a car guy, I will give you that, but you are a poor example of a true Corvette fan. Go away...

I also believe when we look back at the C7 years from now, we'll look at this as the start of the "modern era" for Corvette (which I personally currently attribute to the C4).

Man, I guess we know who you voted for. Just another liberal that thinks his opinion is the only one. Why don't you just go to another country? We don't need people like you around. This is the kind of mentality that is bring our society down. I wish we could all get together and see everyone's big mouth (keyboard) in person and then see how much talk you got. The internet can be a great resource but when guys are slamming others for their opinions on a car that hasn't been released it sure makes ya think "what the hell is wrong with these folks?" And the latest term "Haters" is so ghey! Kids these days! Also Bill (whatever the rest of your numbers are) the gentleman that has had a Vette for 41 years is a VETTE guy. He probably owned that car longer then you've been alive.

Wow, much improved picture over previous renditions
This rear end looks Mean and Tough. I like it.
I am eager to see the car.
I think the car will be revolutionary compared to the C6. Pictures never really provide fair justice to a car. You have to really see it in person to really appreciate the depth of the body shape. Every sports car I have every had an interest in looks better in person compared to just viewing it in a photo. This C7 is going to Rock the World. Smaller in size and weight, good looking and better aerodynamics, improved interior & better electronics, better fuel mileage and overall faster in speed and handling.
Also safer so what else could we complain about now? Now just tell us on Sunday evening that the car has 485 Hp, 470 torque and weighs only 3000 pounds and it will be perfect.
Cheers,

I'm on here all the time. Man are you overstating that he is at "just about all the conflict on this forum"? Spare me the drama. There are plenty of a-holes on this board. Thanks for your input though. He is spot on this one and that is the thread I was responding to. I could care less about his other posts. There are plenty of people on the forum that like to stir it up and we could go on forever about them but if you read my post it is about our individual opinions and our right to them without getting trash talk from someone who disagrees about a car that we have not even seen yet. See my point? Nobody is trying to rain on anyones parade or party. It's a public forum, not a private party.
