Damn, I wish I could like the the back of the car and the spats, because the rest looks great.

I guess I am just an old fart, but I would rather keep my 2008 Wil Cooksey Z06. Timeless classic.

Beautiful gray color. Thanks for posting :cheers: Love that brown leather. Did you take any shots of the interior?

I did not. I couldn't get up on their display...not for the lack of trying! LOL

I think the design will ultimately alienate many of the core buyers. As of now the first year sales of the C7 will be significantly lower than that of the first year of the C6. Doesn't matter how many people like it matters how many buy it.

I have a few fiends who are Import guys (GTR, M3, Porsche etc.) that love the new C7 - their "favorite Corvette ever". As they can afford it, I asked if they will buy one they all promptly said no. Hardly scientific data but I think many able buyers "love" the new design even though they won't buy one.

But that's great that they now won't shake their head in disgust as they pass the Chevy dealership on the way to buy a new BMW or Porsche, etc. A true moral victory for the design team.

Your appraisal is spot on. The new Z06 exterior is about as busy as it could be. This is a look that may be quite functional for the crew who spends significant time in excess of 120 MPH. 20 some year olds with a Fast and Furious frame of reference will likely cotton up to this look but will have a tough time with its near 100 grand ticket price. It is going to be very interesting to see how this one goes after the gotta have it 1st year men have satisfied their needs.

:iagree:

Mind if I steal your pic for my FB page?

This car could be the next Bat Mobile, which is to say it's pretty ridiculous looking.

Couldn't disagree more. The pearl nickel wheels are beautiful and actually enhance the looks of the car rather than black wheels that just fade away into the background.

:iagree: I agree with you BMadden.... only a small number of very specific cars/color combos look good with all black wheels...

Great pictures, thank you for sharing. That Z06 is simply beautiful. :).

too much randomness on this car, why the carbon flash hood?? it makes it look bulging the whole point of an ohv engine is to lower the hood

The TSG with the Pearl Nickel wheels.............beautiful!!!!!
Really make the car "light up".

The side view of my C6Z is my least favorite viewing angle. This on the other hand.:eek:

The hood stripe is an option. I probably won't get it either.

the only thing worth getting are the 15in ceramic rotors

Refinements are probably in reserve for the next iteration ZR1 or whatever you want to call it.

Similar to the Orange of my Lambo!!!!!!!
Wishful thinking on my part!!!!!! GM - Are you reading????????

Yup, GM should have a hot orange. My LP560 was Arancio Atlas; a very bold color. One of Lambo's best paint colors.

Sweet! I hope the stance is the same on the production cars..

Glad everyone is enjoying seeing/talking about the pics/car!

Anyone know if the wheels will fit a C6Z?

Over all I really like the look, wheels and body color. However the brown interior does not go with a gray exterior. These two colors don't go together. Black with red would be killer !!
