Default Chicago Auto Show 2013

The only real thing that I would change is to offer the emblem with A LOT less chrome on it. It looks completely out of place on a blacked out car like this show car.

If you ever get a chance to get to the media previews, GO. There is no moronic general public. A lot of the displays have some sort of food/drink that is open to everyone. The best part, no crowds. Its a completely different and better experience not having the general public.

BUTT is that an LFA or a GTR? I really liked the LFA before and this looks more like GTR, though fast - very ugly! The other thing - it's Chicago, they like BIG BUTTS!

Yep, says it all!

Can't wait to see it in person, I think it is going to be a huge success (relative to the current economic situation)

I must say, as someone who's seen the LFA and Viper up close, they are both stunning. I'm not a fan of the Viper in yellow or bright colors, but it is an amazing car. The LFA looks fantastic in person. I would guess that I'll think the C7 is better looking than both once I see it in NY next month.

I love the new C7, but I sort of like the rear end of the Viper.

Something tells me you didn't like the curves ON the Viper as much as the curves NEAR the Viper!

While she was on the other side of the car, i was trying to get a picture of the car itself. Guys however thought it was a good idea to walk in my picture. Then she walked back and figured, eh what the hell.

Default Nice Pics...

I'm fine w/ the rear end and didn't see the huge resemblance a lot are referring to w/ the camaro rear till i saw this shot...


With little of the rest of the car visible (and blocked by the guy), at first glance it looked very camaro-esq!

Great Shots BTW!
