The C7 is clean and straight.

Fun stable, OP. Nice.
Thanks!

Not less meat...less rubber!

I love NRB, but had to dust it three times today...

Glad they are in the garage now...we're having a little dust storm this evening!

Noticing a nice negative trend with you C6Warrior.

Even interested in C7?

Doesn't seem like it.

No sense in arguing with the guy. He likes older looks. Why else would he have a pic on hand of Joan? Even his avatar is black and white.

Jman, all three vettes of yours Ive seen look great! I wish I had the room for more than 2.

Do you have any mods planned on the 13?

Not really, except front splash guards to prevent further rock chips in front of the rear wheels. But who knows...that could change.

Jags, have you ever considered painting the black fascia on your C7 in yellow?

Not really...yet. Is there an example of a yellow C7 like this?

Your opinion on this REALLY surprises me

The C6 GS is a gorgeous car on the outside The C7 even moreso... the C7 looks tighter, looks more compact, looks more purpose built, looks more modern. I bet my opinion really surprises you too

You're right... the 911 proves that with the right engineering under the body, you can sell a car that looks like a soft, round beetle year after year. Go Porsche

Porsche's are great but IMO they are boring, dull and all look the same. Sometimes tradition needs to move on

Corvettes (specifically C5s, C6s and C7s) for whatever reason, are not very photogenic, IMO. These particular gens look MUCH better in person. Certain angles of the C7 flat out scared me when I first saw pictures of it. However, after seeing it in person, I loved it. Still not sure which rear I like better...leaning toward C7 with Z51 spoiler. Definitely prefer the roof line (new quarter window design) on the C7.

You can also have a good conversation about a members' vette stable without looking like a Circus Clown. Some CF members prove this.

This is very true... the C7 is hard to photograph and I have not seen a picture yet that really captures the lines, compactness and real look of the car. I always like the photos but the car is far nicer in real life.
