Default I feel like hurting some feelings

I've stated I won't pass final judgement on this thing until I see one up close...but here's the facts ....they slapped this thing together because of the Eco down turn years ago and it shows ... Camaro, gtr, and a touch of Maserati in the blender and wah la ....C7Z comes out....and did I mention that cheap *** looking hood with the vents on it ....the pick up trucks have the same thing...that's the way it is ....and no interest what so ever to pick one of these up, like when I switched from my 03's to the 06 in the garage. Come out swinging all you baby's ...Ive got very big shoulders...big everything lol

No, I understand you. They ran out of material to dress the whole car and they had to cut some corners somewhere, it just wasn't from the corners per se. It's especially odd given the car is larger, with a longer wheelbase and wider body.

The other thing that pisses me off is the nano composite floorboards. When everyone, including Ferrari is using outdated carbon fiber technology, why would GM experiment with something that's lighter and stronger? GM ran out of money again and skipped on the solid iron floorboards.

I hate this PIECE also. It has like, 650 hp and goes fast as hell. I mean who wants that? NOT ME, THAT'S WHO! It's all low to the ground and wide. Can't stand junk like that. Why oh why did they put those awesome looking rims on it. They look like there going to carve you up for dinner. I like my stuff looking like junk personally. That's the way to go. No worrying about dents in the parking lot.

I don't really understand why anyone gets on this Corvette site and bashes the car. If you don't want the car just don't buy it. Its really that simple. I didn't care for the silver bar in the front grille of the C7's but I finally figured out it was really a simple fix with a piece I bought from Jeff Nowicki Auto Sports. Iam really looking forward to getting my ZO6.

I agree with the OP, but the performance is impressive for the $$.

So GM has led us to believe.
