great pics, but the car itself makes me cry a little. i'm a younger corvette owner/lover at the ripe old age of 26. to me, they ruined the corvette. i'd probably love this as a different car, but as a corvette it makes me so thankful that i ordered my grand sport c6 two months ago.

the only disappointment to me... those competition seats aren't bolstered as much on the seat bottoms as I had hoped for. Seeing as the backs are more agreesive, I expected the bottoms that way too.

thanks for the great shots. I am not a fan of bright red on a car, but that combo looks great. Loved watching the reveal.

I wonder if these would fit into a C6?

I hope they have that better-integrated before the car goes into production. I don't know why it can't be part of the rear fascia.


Check out the spot where the top of the rear bumper meets the quarter panel......ouch.

Didn't the presentation say they addressed the quality?

No big C6 type parking brake handle sticking up.

I assume it has an electrically activated E-brake?

Thanks JAGWelborn for getting the Silver C7 pics posted!

The Silver/Grey looks great. Put in a black interior and I'm sold!!!
The wheels look great in these pics (I'm not a fan of the black wheels)

That jumped out at me right away. I suspect that they are still working out some details. There are gap problems all over the car.

There were also some more subtle things that were disappointing. It appears the designer of the Stingray logo and the designer of the vents weren't on speaking terms.



I know it seems trivial, but shouldn't the bottom leading edge of the logo run parrallel to the vent?

I like the logo---it would've been cool if they had picked up on that and raked the vent at a less acute angle to match it.

I think the emblem looks tacked as an afterthought doodad.

Interior screams Audi as if they ripped it right out of the R8. Love the black wheels.

For me, I gotta see it in person.

What I do like:

Silver color

Front view

Seats

What I'm neutral on:

Side view

What I hate:

Hideous red.

Steering wheel is horrible.

Dash

Rear end

All the venting everywhere.

They definately seem to be going after younger crowd but as a result the car definately does not have elegance.

Look at the gap between the red material and carpet to the left of the shifter on the first interior pic. It is so large it creates a shadow. Another gap at the beginning of the center console where it meets the carpet near the drivers seat. Ugh this is on the reveal car too.

Is the red the Z51 and silver the standard? The wheels fit the wheel wells much better on the red one...

Yes it is. It is on the console as a button closest to the lid on the right side.
