It looks like it is smoking all 4 wheels. hmmmm :leaving: :D

There* (Sorry, it was really bugging me)

This car will go down as the most beautiful Corvette EVER !!! Quite possibly the best looking automobile to ever come out of this country or the Western hemisphere. Some of us that could see it way back in November 2011 have had to endure the haters (non visionaries) for all this time and now we can all just sit back and admire what the Corvette team has really accomplished. A WORLD CLASS ICONIC SPORTSCAR FROM AMERICA !!!

Where is that your seeing the no round tail lights?

Old news eh!:canadaflag:

Only 7 times have new Corvettes entered the market. It is a time for celebration. A celebration for all of us who love Corvettes. Just once I would love to see the haters just shut up and let the rest of us celebrate. But they will not. They do not want to miss a chance to pee on everyone's parade. If you don't like Corvettes just say so and go away.

:smash:

:cheers::thumbs::flag:

I haven't seen anything in person yet so the news may be old but the views are yet to come!

Tensions are high :pistols:

I can't believe people are still hung up on the tail lights. :crazy2:

The look of the C7 follows most of the new era "muscle" cars like the Mustang and Camaro. There are sharper lines and somewhat of a boxy look. Round tail lights wouldn't fit with the whole sharp edge design. They had to change them up.

Bottom line, the guys working on these cars love them too. They want to make a great car even better and to do that you have to try new things.

The C7 will be a great car....it just might take time to grow on some people. Some may never like it.

One thing is for certain, the real deal is going to look 100 times better than all these renderings and crap we've been fed the past year. :cheers:

Cmon now...this Autoweek picture looks far better than the best rendering out, which was the blue ox "firing papers". The line drawing doesn't do an ounce of justice though. There's so much more shape to the back end, so much more depth you couldn't see.

This car is gonna be badass. I'm on board 100% now...no question. This is the sickest thing on the street under 90k in 2013. This monster looks incredible for the pricetag. Can you imagine what the ZR1 or Z06 is going to look like...holy hell!

The power of 7 baby!

They should not have round red circles on the building ---- Camaro half squares or
what if they pull a true cloak and dagger, poof round lights

No apology needed. That's the way God intended sports cars to be built.:thumbs:

Michael

Front looks better, but that back still looks like a cross between cheap and something that belongs on a Caddy. Not good. :nonod:

What he said!! ^^^ :cool:

Source?

Maybe you can hire a couple of cabana boys to hose that filthy rear down for you....oh wait....you just bought a Viper, right?:lol: And why again are you here?

Which is why people are still "hung up".

I don't want any version Corvette to follow the design of any other car. The Vette design should be what other cars follow, not the other way around.

The Vette should be a break through vehicle that leads the pack.

There are slight but significant differences here Ox that make the newest rear picture look much better than the owners manual shot.

The taillights appear to be a bit less tall from top to bottom and they appear also to be a bit longer as well. There is less area under the tail lights which makes the upper portion of the rear looks slimmer. Overall, the rear in the newest picture seems less tall and wider....although all this may be attributed to the fact that the owners manual picture lacks any color and detail. Perhaps the angle is playing tricks on me too.

If that is the rear, Im a bit disappointed.

Is the bottom half going to be that black plastic material?

Currently the entire rear is fiberglass with the black plastic at the very bottom and people still get it painted.

I hope thats not the rear.

Well it certainly seems as though it is, doesn't it? Those who think it looks like a Camaro will just have to deal with it.:D

Well of course the 'owner's manual' pic is a pretty crude depiction. It is just an illustration to show where the location of the hatch release button.

The general shapes are there. The 'zine cover has far greater detail and a completely different perspective. One is a close, wide view from higher up and the other is a longer, more compressed, telephoto-like view from a medium angle.

I do not understand what is so bad in camaro?? ZL1 and 1LE and great cars. What am I missing??

I am confident that the azz on the Vette will be lower and slimmer than the Camero regardless of the tail light design.

Some think Kim Kardashian has the perfect butt,......most of them are Camero owners.

Great cars indeed. But the C7 doesn't look like a Camaro.

I just noticed that the dark area that surrounds and then drops down on the far left and far right of the taillights have what appears to be a carbon fiber look. Or am I seeing things?

Maybe. The real question is what is that area for, looks or function? I've speculated that area MAY be part of the air venting/cooling system. As maniacal as the Corvette team seems about function, I can easily see it being functional.

Hoping its functional venting for the brakes, differential or at least some aero ducts. If they are not functional i think they will not be received as well as they will be otherwise.

This is hard for me to quantify but I am feeling more of the "Stingray" when I see this design lately - the super low hood line and the body draping over in the back. A little more organic in presentation . I like it.

It doesn't look bad - but, I'll wait until the official reveal.

I tend to belief nothing that I hear or read and 1/2 of what I see.

I don't see what the big deal is with the tailights, there have been generations with different taillights and headlights, etc. I definetely agree that it cannot have generic Camaro taillights, because it wouldn't set it apart - not because I don't like them or the Camaro.

We'll see soon!

:iagree: :thumbs:

The anticipation is killer, most likely many of the renderings are very accurate, but until we actually see it, we can't be absolutely certain. Until I see it in person I won't be able to decide.

the reason guys are freaking out, is because it looks fantastic. it has all come together in this last pic. It looks great, and modern, and lastly, right! makes the old ones look just that, old.

In all honesty, I like your idea better than mine! :thumbs:

Well it could happen and those pieces could easily be carbon fiber. Who knows?:thumbs:

Or, clean their glasses ............ :rofl:

It would be kind of cool if these black ears were smoked lenses for some kind of glowing light, kind of like how Blue Ox has it highlighted. Like daytime lights, its daytime rear lights.

Sure...someone will do that in the aftermarket!

There is going to be high pressure air coming out of those blue areas.

So what? The Corvette had pop-up lights from 1963-2004. Your point is invalid.

Actually, most of them are C5 owners. When the C5 came out, everyone was crying about the "big butt". BTW ... Kim's butt really is too big.

Yup...:thumbs:

I should not have posted that :hide:

The back of the car looks great in the silver/black combo. It remains to be seen how well it goes with the traditional corvette red, tho.

Stingray was first used in 1963. No Stingrays in 59.

Based off of the front and rear; I am very excited for the release tomorrow. GM wanted to target the younger market, and based off of my friends reactions, they did the job. I'm thinking about getting this silver/carbon color they are showing in the leaked pictures. If they performance specs are faster or equal to C6Z06 specs, this thing will sell, period.

Agreed. And there are prettier women out there than her. Way prettier.

I don't know about anybody else, but that is a nice ass!! :D

The guys who cant appreciate are probably too small to handle it. Real men want some meat on their bones!

Respectfully disagree, although not a production car, there was a 1959 Stingray. Most likely referring to the Stingray Racer designed and built in 59 which lead to the 63 Sting Ray production car. GM intern, a soon to be famous designed named Peter Brock sketched on a cocktail napkin at 19 years old the first design for the Sting Ray Racer for Bill Mitchell and Harley Earl when on an dinner interview. It became the basis for the 63 Sting Ray, Bill Mitchel teamed Peter with Larry Shinoda to design the 1963 production version on the Sting Ray, yet the racer was built and did race and was known at the 1959 Stingray... notice the spelling Stingray, not the Sting Ray which was the production version.

She has more low end torque than the new LT-1 :woohoo:

The back looks mean as f-ck

Jay Leno on You Tube shows the 1959 Sing Ray. Check it out..

Nice round tail lights. :rofl::rofl:

The rear end looks WAAAY better than the Jalopnik renderings looked. Sometimes the genuine article looks 10x better than drawings, even if the basics are there.

The taillights don't look much like a Camaro's other than the fact that there are four and they are vaguely square-ish... Jesus H, good thing there weren't forums back in 1989 when the 1990 ZR-1 came out! :rofl:
