Really. I don't know who said it first, but I'd like an opinion from someone that actually saw the car - that doesn't have a financial stake in it's success.

I hear they're giving one to Elvis at the halftime of the Stupor Bowl, but are worried that he won't like the styling of the rear end and might give it to his girl friend....................:D

Sorry dude. That was me. I grabbed a convertible off the local dealer's used lot and took a bunch of old comforters and other old bedding from the closet in our spare bedroom. I draped and strapped it all over the 'vert and though how funny it would be to absolutely fugg with all of the people hungry for any spy shots of the C7 as I drove around.

I always kind of liked that Silver rendering of the C7. It seems as though it may be closer to the real thing than any of the others.

We must be reading different responses! Most I have seen are not open to any question or criticism whatsoever.............. There a few who are open, but many, and certainly not all as your post above would seem to infer, appear to have made up their minds that it is the most beautiful rear end since Sophia Loren - or some other Italian curves......... :D

Big deal. I drove one last week while on business in Detroit. Tadge rode shotgun. The thing was awesome - 450 hp, 7-speed manual, 4-mode exhaust, on hard acceleration the thing sounded like a monster. Oh, I almost forgot - it was a convertible. Even though it had the optional folding hard top the car felt lighter than its C6 counterpart. I can't wait to order mine. :cheers:

Cabo San Lucas, standing on the corner, where are you boys?

Don't need a 2nd Camaro back end, never liked the first crop-top shunt design under the prior design center regime, gvt still hasn't got it - that good lighting design makes or breaks car styling.

One thing i know foresure on it it is 3000lbs. So lighter than the current vette by like 200lbs. Thats alot of weight shaved off.

I brought this up months ago CONMAX and I got the impression that I was the only one who felt that way. My 08 was exactly as you described, undrivable in the snow and the C7 is cruising in snow amongst traffic in those spy pics.

Key to driving a Vette in the snow is Tires(Blizzaks or good All Seasons) and Ground Clearance and A full tank of gas or additional weight in the cargo area.
