I said it before and I'll say it again, the c7 does indeed look brand spankin new and futuristic compared to the c6.
However, new or different are not interchangeable terms for better contrary to what many "GOTTA BE THE FIRST ON MY BLOCK!" types think. The C7 is overstyled and cartoonish, much like the camaro. I'll support the corvette team i guess, but I wouldn't be caught dead in one. C6, red/red C4, or even C5 Z06(not huge fan of the looks but raw fun factor is nuts) for me over c7 any day.
The one thing this pic shows that I've never really noticed, is how broad yet bland the Z front bumper is.
Bring on the "old fart" "grandpa" and "go back to the nursing home" comments.

Just goes to show you when talking about Corvettes they are all beautiful cars. We celebrate the Corvette a world class car. To be picky and derisive about one model or another may be the mark of a car fanatic but not a Corvette fan. Like our children they are each unique..Made in America, by Americans..nothing but the best.

I wasn't going to reply to this "out there" post until I saw this sentence. But wow, the C7 has the best, most exciting front styling of all the generations, and I've owned em all.

I was however, referring to the z06 bumper. The c6 bumper doesn't have tons of detail to it.
Btw, I just turned 25, and all my car friends have mixed feelings about the c7. Its not some over the hill folk hate it, young guys love it blanket statement for the few that seem to think that.

Thanks for the cool photo. The carbon black stripes on nightrace blue are very interesting and subtle. I'll bet it's Kirk Bennion's ride. He always does something interesting with stripes

C6 looks like the male, c7 looks like the female. Sure the female looks prettier in the face (front end) with the pretty eyes (headlights), mascara (running lights), big grille (nice lips), etc, while the c6z looks like a masculine brute in comparison. But damn, that c7 sure is perrrrty. Haha

I posted about 20 more in an album on my Facebook page. Some of those are good comparison shots and many without the bra that see a few crying about. FYI for the bra haters. It's not a looks thing but a protection thing. Only on the car for long trips which VIR is for us.
