To me the c7 z06 doesn't have the wow factor as much between the regular c6 and the z06 did ( in the looks department )
, certain areas seem too busy or tacked on. Of course I would still love to have the car!

Thank you for posting these. My mother told me; "If you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing."

Default No regrets

Convertible was a must for us. But couldn't wait. Very cool but so is our turtle in the race. Who will be the first to do a base car body conversion?

I agree; thanks for the great pics. (for some reason, probably my computer, not all pics are fully loading) Is the new model intro the convertible Z06?

Z06 vert is the "new variant." I wonder if they waited to "reveal" it until now due to debating the name or just to stay in the spotlight. Likely the latter. No word on an "entry-level" car or a Z06X yet!

Not liking the front spoiler, specifically from the side, looks like an airplane tail fin to me, something they kluged together, it just doesn't have that clean flow look.

Guys these are the Z07 package Corvette's so they will have the full aero kit on it. I don't think the base ones will be as extreme and likely to be easier on the eyes. I plan on tracking it so Z07 it is

Both look waaaay better than the C6 variants.
Love the spoilers, splitters etc. If they looked like the C6's then they'd look like C6's.
