C6 is the looker of the trio, sad! 2 gens on and latest is not as clean and harmonious looking.

C8 see 458/488 for inspiration -- lower the front end, simplify the rear end...2023 facelift??

C7, simply yeetch -- an overwrought caricature.

Everyone has an opinion. Nothing wrong with any of those three cars.

C8, C6, C7 imo.

C7Z though elevates it to first. The widebody C7Z is my favorite looking corvette though. Can't wait to see the C8Z.

Great shots. You've captured two angles where your C8 is the best looking of the bunch.

I'm getting much better at simply not looking at the C8 from angles that I don't think do it justice. Practicing up for when I finally get one

Great Pic !!! I'd love to see the C5 in there too... The C8 will be my first Corvette but I've always liked the C5 and the Chrome Bumper C3's before that.

"Sad" for who?
It's just your opinion.

Looks identical to a car I traded in I was wondering if I would ever show up on the forum at some point.

Nice pic - thanks.
No one should be surprised the C8 would win, if all are stock - the C8 has 30 more HP than the C7 and 60 over the C6. Plus better traction with the engine closer to the rear wheels.
It would be disappointing if the C8 didn't win. It would be interesting to see the C8 base go against the C6 and C7 Z06 models.
