I'm also not a big fan of side skirts.

It may just be because I hate ricers, and I associate all those design elements with Honda Civics and not luxury sports cars. Sure as hell can't complain about the hp/torque improvement though .
to each their own, no one will shoot you for having an opinion. Each fender is 2" wider on the Z06, for a total of 4" wider overall. I don't believe this includes the additional aero pieces.

The styling does nothing for me. Sorry, it doesn't

Does this new most-capable Z06 spell the end of the ZR1?

I think the car is just right. Can't wait to see the C7R live @ Daytona . Leaving for fla Tuesday also will get over to the NCRS show @ old town.

Where is the JAKE logo on the C7-R race car ?

The end? Well, in case you did not get the memo, the last ZR1 was the 2013. So yes, it is the end. No more ZR1s being made

I am glad I got mine.

I have to admit...They made some nice visual enhancements over the base C7. The engine, that's a given

It's a monster...and will most likely have near an additional 200hp than the C7.

WOW!!!

I like it although I like the Stingray probably as much. I do think the Yellow was chosen to match the C7R but there was a silver one at the show and it's more to my liking. Anyway I can barely afford a C7 so the Z is just a dream.
