the more I see the direct evolution from the original Sting Ray. It really looks to me like a modern, aerodynamically and structurally improved 60's stingray. Thoughts?

I don't personally see it but, if you do, I think that is a good thing

The only comparisons are 4 black tires and the gap between the road and the bottom of both cars.

Everyone has been comparing the C7 with the C2 Stingray, but personally speaking I think it has much more in common in terms of its design with the C3.

Both awesome looking Stingrays.

I see it - definitely a resemblance. There are clearly fenders, 2 doors, potential exhaust system, and a person that sits in the left side of the vehicle for driving purposes. They really went retro for this C7. Kudos to them.

I am beginning to like the C7. I love everthing BUT the tail lights......I hope I get over this SOON!

jd_black_00

I didn't say anything about "retro" design. I said it looks like it evolved from the C2, the same way humans evolved from monkeys. To suggest that the C7 was styled to look "retro" would be to say that we humans look like donkey kong...

You will. The tail lights are a superb technological improvement over the past ugly incandescent, round, and out dated tail lights. Round tail lights are the insignia of the past; like the decayed insect embedded in the stony walls of an ancient cave in Zimbabwe. In fact, they should be displayed in a historic museum at this point.

The new tail lights are three dimensional, LED powered, glorious and magnificent pieces that look as if Zeus, the almighty Greek deity made himself. Rumors are God himself had a part in the design, but Zeus's collaborative efforts have gone unmatched in the thunderous and flawless architecture and engineering efforts of the C7 tail lamp.

Take what you think of the C7 tail lights, flush it down the mental toilet, and erase past images of what you think is nice looking and progress in time- the C7 is the new generation of Corvette. Open the mouth, drink the juice... and enjoy.

The tight creased fenders on the C2 and the C3 as well remind me of the C7
The grill on the C2 and C3 also have similar wide form to the C7
I agree with you JD_Black

Well, there's a definite Corvette-ness to both cars, but the C6 seems more obviously related to me. Consider the idiosyncratic fender blisters, the wrap-over rear glass, the scale and position of the cove vent, and of course the taillights.

Of course, in terms of overall proportions (not surface details), the C6 and C7 are very similar. Cover both cars in stretchy car covers and you can hardly tell them apart.

C7=Lotus Elite Concept(80%) + GTR(20%)
That's what I see. C2 sting ray...ah no.

DanTheFireman

Take off, eh? Have you seen it in person?

Mike O'Daniel

Eh. I know one thing for sure... Every time I look at he new stingray, a start jonesing even more for mine to get here!

ibleedgreen

I don't see any, at all... lol, silver, two doors, 4 wheels???!!!


Dude you need to wipe the GM giz off your chin. You might even have it in your hair...
No likey at all.

I don't see anything about the C7 looking like a classic C2 IMO.

Bill17601

I do not see anything in the pictures that has anything to do with what you just said..but I also think it is a stretch. However I think you can see a little C2 in every model since.

I LOVE THIS STINGRAY HAS AN LS9 MID-ENGINE

To be brutally honest, the car the C7 most resembles to me is the Ferrari 599 Fiorino, which, IMHO, is one of the best looking Ferrari front engine cars of all time. (The newer ones are too over-the-top for me.) Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

My favorite front-engine Ferrari coupe of all time is the 1960's 275 GTB/4 which followed the fabled 250 GTO. The Fiorino and the Daytona coupes are a close second and third.
