How does the design of that car differ from other C7s?

old school huh, you do realize the original Corvettes we're white and you can't get more old school than the original.

I like the looks of the carbon flash vents that contrast against the body color. Black C7 does nothing for me.

I think the rear of the black car looks much better than any other color, but I prefer red or yellow for the rest of the car. The car does look nice in black, but I think other colors look even better outside of the crazy rear.

I think he is just suggesting you don't notice all of the vents all over the car and the huge black rear diffuser on a black car. Some of the more polarizing items of the C7 design don't stand out as much on a black car.

from wikipedia

"Color can play a large role in the elements of design[4] with the color wheel being used as a tool, and color theory providing a body of practical guidance to color mixing and the visual impacts of specific color combination."

Someone on this forum said there is only one color corvette and its red. Someone else said the faster C7s were red. Seems to make sense
