Huh, I was hoping to see a DOHC LS7

[BonzoHansen]

I'm in for flame shooting

Everything but the actual car looks good on paper :lol:

LOL. Nailed it

I like the hood, front fenders with no extensions and the bigger blower. The front bumper and aero will surely be very effective but it looks a bit too "time attack" for me right now. I'm sure once I see it enough and in person, my eyes will calm things down. Biggest gripe for current Z owners is insufficient cooling to run many laps in hot weather. The additional radiators and aggressive front bumper for airflow should def correct that issue.

Brian, did you put your order in already?

Nahhhh. Too much $$ and I'm a fan of that healthy late model discount when the masses stop caring about the car.

[ar0ck]

Not that I wouldn't take one, but its looking more and more like a Lambo every day.

[PolarBear]

when the masses stop caring about the car.

Because C7? :-P

[LS1ow]

Looks like the CF center section stays with them motor when the hood opens. Pretty cool.

Not a fan of the front bumper/Splitter/EvilFangs, but i wasnt a fan of the ZL1s front bumper either but that has grown on me.

Color also doesnt transfer to well onto paper.

[Blackbirdws6]

Exactly. Car is heavily discounted but doesn't mean the product is poor or undesirable. Kind of like the Hellcat. You can get big discounts on them.

I have been told the ZL1/1LE is faster on big tracks because of a cooling advantage.

It wouldn't surprise me but I'd still give the vette the nod on a hot lap. Races aren't one lap so...yea.
