WOW the C7's are getting rained on..... guess they did make major changes.

Side by side, the backends are nothing alike, and if I didn't know it, I would never guess that the C7 was a Corvette.

Nice Pictures :yesnod:

I saw 3 of them at VIR when the museum had their track day in June. I too, didn't like them until I saw them up close. We have to give the engineers a nod...they did a great job overall.

I have a C6 because I think they have the best lines since the C2's. (and owning one just makes sense).

What IS the deal with those tabs?

Why would any designer add those? Does it derive from some racing concept, or aerodynamic factor, that I'm missing? I think they simply look a bit silly and stupid, like some after market bumper-extension piece.

The car is more beautiful in person. I was sold as soon as I saw it Carlisle on friday !

Missing Carlisle
 

That's it, it I have not been to Carlisle since 2007, after moving to Colorado...now I am in Texas and not getting any closer, but I am going back next year! I envy all of those able to attend. Whether you like the C7 or not, just being at a venue with a bunch of them to sit in, push prod, etc. must have been fantastic!

Long live the Corvette, whatever it looks like. :cheers:

A lot of new cars have them. You might get away from them if you purchase a car that wasn't designed for the European market and will never be sold there.

Apparently it's a new GM design thing. The new Malibu, Impala, the SS all have them as well. Although they're not as pronounced on the SS. I guess they're going for a design consistency like other manufacturers.

The "purpose" of the C7 front triangles are "BS" in my book, period! How about the rest of the front end, the curve there looks like it would pull a foot under to me. So a victim needs to stand right were the chicken teeth are to be saved! :D

I still do not know if I like the Charlie Chan, squinty eyed tail light look...

Maybe it'll grow on my....

"EyeBall" further research
 

After close examination of the pics in this thread it looks to me that the edge at the top of the grill opening appears to stick out slightly further than the bottom and would contact the leg first (except where the chicken teeth are) which would cause the "VICTIM" to flop onto the hood in most cases like the old "cow catchers" on steam locomotives.

PS: I just got to say, the more "I" look at those "chicken teeth" the more they look like "CR_ P". They need to go GM. I will be waiting on my new 2015 or later in the year Z06, etc. car. :flag: :D

The guy with the rather large circumference is really "wishful thinking"!....

And the lady scraping her handbag along the side of the C7 should be shot!...

My advance apologies if the above are any of our Forum members!

:D

I saw the 2014 in person & sat in it. No big deal to me. The rear end ruins the car. Luv my 2013 GS even more!!:woohoo:
